Chapter 4 Tutorials

6The download task appears in the Download Service screen’s Active or Queue tab. It may appear in the Completed tab if the NSA already finished downloading the file or it may appear in the Error tab if the NSA failed to download the file.

By default the NSA stores all downloads in the admin share’s download folder. See Section 4.8.4 on page 89, Section 4.8.5 on page 91, or Section 4.8.6 on page 93 for how to access a share.

4.9.4Configuring the Download Service Preferences

Once you added a list of download tasks to the NSA (see Section 4.9.1 on page 94 and Section 4.9.3 on page 102), you can have the NSA download files during a specific time period of the day. You can also configure the BitTorrent 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.
