Service
Use this option to turn the download service off or on. If you turn off the service, all downloads
are paused. Files currently downloading are queued. Turning on the download service
resumes downloads (or restarts them if they are not able to resume).
Add After you find a file to download, copy the file’s URL. Then log into the NAS web configurator

Section 14.3.1 on page 239.

Completed type.
