LABEL DESCRIPTION
Port Number Assign a port number for BitTorrent downloads. You can select a
number from 2 to 65536. It is recommended to use a port
number greater than 1025.
Max. download rate You may need to limit the bandwidth the NSA uses for BitTorrent
downloads if your network’s other Internet applications are not
getting enough downstream bandwidth. 0 has the NSA impose no
restriction.
Max. upload rate You may need to limit the bandwidth the NSA uses to share files
through BitTorrent if your network’s other Internet applications
are not getting enough upstream bandwidth. 0 has the NSA
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 BitTorrent
community.
Note: The settings for maximum download/upload rates
would not affect peers accessing the NSA from the
same LAN.
Maximum Number of
Active Torrents
Specify how many simultaneous BitTorrent downloads are allowed
on the NSA. You can enter a number from 1 to 10.
Maximum Number of
Seeding Jobs
Specify how many simultaneous seeds are allowed on the NSA.
Enter a number from 1 to 10. This value cannot exceed the one
you configured in the Maximum Number of Active Torrents
field.
Keep Sharing While With BitTorrent, the NSA starts sharing a file while you are
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.
