14.5 Technical Reference

This section provides technical background information on the topics discussed in this chapter.

14.5.1 Download Service

The NAS's download service downloads files from the Internet directly to the NAS. You do not have to
download to your computer and then copy to the NAS. This can free up your computer's system
resources.
The NAS can download using these protocols.
• HTTP: The standard protocol for web pages.
• FTP: A standard Internet file transfer service.
• P2P download: Peer-to-peer files sharing protocol.
Note: Do not use the NAS for illegal purposes. Illegal downloading or sharing of files can result
in severe civil and criminal penalties. You are subject to the restrictions of copyright laws
and any other applicable laws and will bear the consequences of any infringements
thereof. Zyxel bears NO responsibility or liability for your use of the download service
feature.
Torrent Files
The NAS needs a ".torrent" file for P2P download to download a file. The torrent file gives the NAS
information about the file to be downloaded (and shared) and the tracker(s) (computers) that
coordinates the distribution of the file.
When you add a P2P download task in the NAS's web configurator screens, you can copy and paste
the URL of the torrent file. The NAS automatically downloads the torrent file and saves it in a torrent folder
within the folder where the NAS stores downloaded files (the admin share's download folder by default).
If you already have the torrent file saved on your computer, you can just specify its location when
adding a download task through the web configurator. Another method is to use FTP or a CIFS program
(Windows Explorer for example) to copy the torrent file into the torrent folder. The NAS automatically
uses the torrent file.
