6.6 BitTorrent
Used in conjunction with its built-in BitTorrent client, the Gigabit SATA NAS can be
set to download media les from the Internet and have them saved directly to the
internal SATA hard drive. You can then turn off your computer.
The BitTorrent client on the NAS uses the TCP protocol and ports 6881-6889. Make
sure those ports are not blocked by your router: If necessary, set up port forwarding
so that the trafc for those ports is forwarded to your NAS.
The BitTorrent client on the NAS can download ve les at a time, with a maximum of
40 les in the queue. Before turning off the device, stopping all current downloads
rst is recommended. After the device has been rebooted or turned off, the partial
downloads will need to be started again to continue the download process.
1. Browse the Internet for the media les you want to download, and store the
torrent les on your local drive.
2. Log in to the Web interface and go to the BTorrent screen in the Network
Service menu (see Section 4.2.4.3).
3. Click “Browse” and locate your previously downloaded torrent le. Select it and
click “Add” to add the le to the download queue.
4. Click “Start” to begin the download process. NOTE: If the new le doesn’t appear
on the list, click “Refresh” or re-select “BTorrent” from the left-hand menu.
