LABEL DESCRIPTION
Port Number Assign a port number for P2P downloads. You can select a number from 2 to 65536. It is
recommended to use a port number greater than 1025.
DHT Select Enable or Disable to use Distributed Hash Table (DHT) or not.
Note: When you use DHT, the NAS will also attempt to open a UDP port one
number smaller than the P2P download port number. So if the P2P
download port number is 9090, the NAS uses UDP port 9089.
Max. download rate You may need to limit the bandwidth the NAS uses for P2P downloads if your network’s
other Internet applications are not getting enough downstream bandwidth. 0 has the NAS
impose no restriction.
Max. upload rate You may need to limit the bandwidth the NAS uses to share files through P2P download if
your network’s other Internet applications are not getting enough upstream bandwidth. 0
has the NAS impose no restriction.
If you do not allow any uploads, (for example, you set a limit of 1 KB/s) you will not have a
good standing in the P2P download community.
Note: The settings for maximum download/upload rates would not affect peers
accessing the NAS from the same LAN.
