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 NSA
automatically uses the torrent file.
After your P2P download and sharing are finished, you can go to the incoming folder within the
destination share or folder and delete the .torrent file if you need to free up hard disk space.
10.12.3 Link Capture Browser Plugin
The link capture browser plugin is an add-on feature for your web browser. Use the plugin to
directly add a file’s URL to the NSA’s download service.
Note: The link capture browser plugin is located in the included CD.
The following screen displays how the plugin works.
Figure 93 Link Capture Browser Plugin
Instead of copying and pasting a file’s URL to the NSA’s download service, you can right-click on the
URL in the web browser and select Send to NSA. The URL is then added to the NSA’s download
service list.
See Section 5.10.2 on page 94 and Section 5.10.3 on page 99 for tutorials about installing and
using the link capture browser plugin.
Note: At the time of writing the plugin supports Internet Explorer 6.0/7.0/8.0 and Mozilla
Firefox 2.0/3.0.
10.12.4 Download Service Notification
Use the download service notification to keep track of downloaded files on the NSA. You can
subscribe to the NSA’s download list on your computer. When the NSA finishes downloading new
files, your RSS reader displays the information and links for the files. You can also download the
files from the RSS reader to your computer.
See Section 5.10.5 on page 103 for a tutorial about using the download service notification.
In the Download Service screen, select Enable Download Notify and click Apply. An RSS feed
icon appears. Click the icon to subscribe to the NSA’s download list.
