| complete file that you are downloading. |

| have a complete copy of the file yet and are still downloading; Seeds refer to peers that |
| have the complete file. |

| downloading (and sharing) the file you are downloading. |
| This value is in the format “ConnectedPeers(AllPeers)[Health]” where Connected Peers is |
| the number of computers to which the NSA is connected in order to download the file; |

Download | This is how fast the NSA is getting the file. |
Speed | It is normal for a P2P download to start out with a slow download speed since it has to set |
| |
| up numerous connections. The speed should increase as the download progresses and |
| decrease near the end of the download. |
|
|
Upload Speed | This is how fast the NSA is sending the file to other P2P users. |
|
|
Time Left | This is how much longer (in hours, minutes, and seconds) it should take to finish the |
| download at the current download speed. |
|
|
Priority | This is the download’s priority on the NSA. You can set a currently downloading or queued |
| download to high or automatic priority. You can set a download to high priority to have the |
| NSA try to download it before the other files. However the actual download speed depends |
| more on factors like the speed of you Internet connection, the speed of the download |
| source’s Internet connection, how many others are trying to download at the same time, |
| the peers and seeds available and general network conditions. |
