Keep Sharing While With P2P download, the NAS starts sharing a file while you are downloading it. Set how
long to continue sharing a file after the NAS finishes the download.
Select Upload/Download Ratio to keep sharing a file until the NAS 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 P2P download users finish downloading it. Sharing
out at least as much as you download helps keep you in good standing in the P2P
download community.
Enter -1 to share a file indefinitely. Leave both check boxes blank to have the NAS stop
sharing the file as soon as the download finishes.
If you select both options, the NAS 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 NAS keeps sharing a file until it
has shared 1.5 times the size of the file and has passed 120 minutes.
Email notifications Select whether or not to send emails to the email address configured for emailing log
reports (see Section 26.4.2 on page 308) when the NAS starts downloading the file,
seeding the file, and/or finishes downloading the file.
