Chapter 4 Tutorials

By default the NSA stores all downloads in the admin share’s download folder. See Section 4.9.4 on page 76, Section 4.9.5 on page 78, or Section 4.9.6 on page 79 for how to access a share.

4.10.4 Configuring the Download Service Preferences

Once you added a list of download tasks to the NSA (see Section 4.10.1 on page 80 and Section

4.10.3on page 88), you can have the NSA download files during a specific time period of the day. You can also configure the P2P download settings to control bandwidth and optimize download efficiency.

Say you have the NSA turned on all the time, but you only want the NSA download files at night. Here is how you use the download period control feature to set the time range.

1Click Applications > Download Service > Preferences to open the General Settings screen.

2Select Enable Download Period Control and use the arrows to adjust the time period from 23:30 to 09:00. Click Apply to save your changes. The NSA only downloads files within this 9.5-hour period every day.

Note: If you configure the Power On/Off Schedule feature in the Power Management screen, make sure your active download period does not conflict with the power-off period.

Note: If power failure occurs during the active download period, the NSA will verify whether the downloaded files were damaged. If a file is corrupted, the NSA will download the file again. If the file is intact but not completely downloaded, the NSA will resume the download task after it restarts.
