9.12.2 Download Service
The NSA's download service downloads files from the Internet directly to the NSA. You do not have
to download to your computer and then copy to the NSA. This can free up your computer's system
resources. The download service also handles your broadcatching downloads. See
page 194
for information on broadcatching.
The NSA 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 NSA 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 NSA needs a ".torrent" file for P2P download to download a file. The torrent file gives the NSA
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 NSA's web configurator screens, you can copy and paste
the URL of the torrent file. The NSA automatically downloads the torrent file and saves it in a
torrent folder within the folder where the NSA stores downloaded files (the admin share's
download folder by default).
