Torrent Download
Torrent downloads allow you to share files using a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. With Torrent Download enabled, you can download files using the torrent
protocol to your Home Media Network Hard Drive and then those files can be uploaded by other torrent users.
After you have added torrent jobs to your Torrent share, the Torrent Download page displays a table of torrent jobs, both downloads and files available for
upload. Multiple torrent files can download simultaneously. The table information includes the name of the data file, its size, download or upload status, and
amount of time left before the torrent job completes.
For more information on adding a torrent, refer to

performance of your device and impact other work on it.

The port value should be a number between 6881 and 6999, and your router must be configured to allow port forwarding on the same port. Refer to
