will allow you to download torrent ﬁles (Fig. 72). For more informa-

tion on torrents, see:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_protocol

1. First click the Start Download Machine button.

2. To start a download, click the green plus sign next the page title

(Fig. 73).

3. Choose whether the torrent source is a ﬁle or a URL, then navi-

gate to the source.

4. Choose the destination (i.e., on which share the downloaded

ﬁle will be stored) and click SUBMIT.

5. The ﬁle will begin downloading (can sometimes take a few min-

utes to begin).

4.12.1. Download Page Settings

Below the list of downloads are several settings (Fig. 74).

TCP Listening port: Choose a router port through which the torrent

service will operate.

Download limit rate: Type a number here to restrict maximum down-

load rates.

Upload limit rate: Type a number here to restrict maximum upload

rates.

Max. active torrents: Type a number here to limit the number of

torrents that can download/upload simultaneously. Type zero for

no limit.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Because the torrent client service uses band-

width and system resources, multiple simultaneous downloads can

impact Network Space MAX performance. Additionally, even after a

download has completed, it may continue to use system resources if

it is uploading, as long as the torrent is active.
