Chapter 17 Applications Figure 134 NAS link in iTunes 17.11.2 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.
