Select Files

A single P2P download torrent file is often for multiple files. If you do not need all of the

 

 

files the torrent file specifies, click this to select which files to download.

 

 

 

 

Delete

To delete download tasks (or manually clear out completed download tasks), select a

 

 

download task and click this to remove it from the list. A pop-up screen asks you to

 

 

confirm. Click Apply to delete or Cancel to quit. When you delete a download task, you

 

 

are given the option to delete the associated files. Selecting this option deletes a

 

 

downloaded file and in the case of a P2P download task, also deletes the related .torrent

 

 

file.

and click individual download tasks to select multiple individual download tasks.

downloads appear in the Download Service screen’s Inactive tab.

 

 

Use your keyboard’s [SHIFT] key to select a range of download tasks. Use the [CTRL] key

Resume

Select a paused item and click this to continue downloading the file.

 

 

Select a completed item and click this to re-seed a P2P file or download a file again. If you

 

 

want to re-seed a P2P task, keep the P2P file and the completed file in their original

 

 

locations.

 

 

 

 

Task Info

See Section 10.6.6 on page 205 for more details.

 

 

 

The table lists your downloads. Click a column’s heading to sort the entries by that criteria.

Active

Click this to see the list of files the NSA is currently downloading or sharing with other P2P

 

users. The NSA handles a maximum of 10 active tasks at a time (or fewer depending on

 

how much of the NSA’s system memory is available). If you add more, they appear in the

 

Inactive tab.

 

P2P downloads may appear in the Inactive tab for a while before showing in the

 

Downloading tab. The NSA automatically moves completed tasks to the Completed tab.

 

 

Inactive

Click this to see the list of files that are queued (waiting in line) for the NSA to download or

 

the downloads that have been manually paused.

 

 

Completed

Click this to see the list of files that the NSA has finished downloading.

 

The Location column shows where a downloaded file is saved on the NSA. Click on the

 

location link to open the share browser and access the file.

 

 

Error

Click this to see the list of files that the NSA was not able to download. The NSA

 

automatically retries unsuccessful download attempts. The download displays in the error

 

tab when the re-attempts are also unsuccessful and the NSA stops trying to download the

 

file. To try the download again, use the Add button to create a new download task.
