DESCRIPTION

Seeds

Seeds apply to BitTorrent downloads. This is the number of

 

computers that are sharing the complete file that you are

 

downloading.

 

This value is in the format “Leeches(Seeds)” where Leeches refer to

 

peers that do not have a complete copy of the file yet and are still

 

downloading; Seeds refer to peers that have the complete file.

 

 

Peers

Peers apply to BitTorrent downloads. This is the number of other

 

computers that are also 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; AllPeers refer to the total

 

number of computers to which the NSA can connect in order to

 

download the file; Health indicates the availability of the file.

 

 

Download

This is how fast the NSA is getting the file.

Speed

It is normal for a BitTorrent 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 BitTorrent 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.
