DESCRIPTION

 

 

Maximum

Specify how many active connections are allowed on the NSA. Enter a

 

 

Number of Active

number from 1 to 500. This specifies the number of computers that

 

 

Connections

can connect to the NSA to download files being shared by the NSA.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep Sharing

With BitTorrent, the NSA starts sharing a file while you are

 

 

While

downloading it. Set how long to continue sharing a file after the NSA

 

 

 

finishes the download.

 

 

 

Select Upload/Download Ratio to keep sharing a file until the NSA

 

 

 

has uploaded a specific percent compared to the download.

 

 

 

Select Seeding Time to keep sharing a file for a specific number of

 

 

 

minutes after the download finishes.

 

 

 

Continuing to share a file helps other BitTorrent users finish

 

 

 

downloading it. Sharing out at least as much as you download helps

 

 

 

keep you in good standing in the BitTorrent community.

 

 

 

Enter -1 to share a file indefinitely. Leave both check boxes blank to

 

 

 

have the NSA stop sharing the file as soon as the download finishes.

 

 

 

If you select both options, the NSA keeps sharing a file until both

 

 

 

conditions exceed the values you configure. For example, you entered

 

 

 

150% in the Upload/Download Ratio field and 120 minutes in the

 

 

 

Seeding Time field. The NSA keeps sharing a file until it has shared

 

 

 

1.5 times the size of the file and has passed 120 minutes.
