DESCRIPTION
Paste the URL or magnet link of the file you want to download into this field. The URL can
be for an HTTP, FTP, or P2P download. A magnet link is for a P2P download.
For a P2P download using a magnet link the NAS automatically downloads the file related
to the magnet link.
For a P2P download using a .torrent file, you can copy and paste the URL of the .torrent
file. The NAS will automatically download the .torrent file and use it. You do not have to
manually download the .torrent file or save it to your computer.
Note: Make sure the link opens either the file you want or a pop-up window about how to
handle the file.
It is also OK for the link to open a .torrent file. If you are redirected to a screen that says
the download should start in a few seconds, there may be a link to click if the download
does not start automatically. See if that link opens the file or the pop-up window.
A "torrent" file has information the NAS uses to do a P2P download. A torrent file uses a
.torrent extension. If you already have a torrent file saved on your computer, select the
Torrent File option and specify its path or click Browse and look for its location.
