3.4 BitTorrent™
Used in conjunction with its built-in BitTorrent™ client, the network drive can be set to download
media files from the Internet and have them saved directly to the internal hard drive.
3.4.1 Starting a Download
To start downloading files, download a torrent file from the internet and then upload it to the
network drive. Once the torrent file has been added, you can start downloading. The downloaded
files will be stored in the BT folder inside the Public directory.
1. Use a search engine like Google and browse the internet for the media files you would like
to download. Download and store the torrent file(s) on your computer.
2. Login to your network drive and go to the Applications menu. Under BitTorrent Downloader,
click Upload Torrent and locate the torrent file on your computer.
3. The file is added to the download queue and the download will begin automatically. If you
like, you can now turn off your computer.
4. For further commands, select the file from the list and you will have the option to see more
details, stop and start the download as well as completely remove a file from the queue.
5. Once the download process has reached 100% and if the file is not removed from the
download queue, it will start seeding (uploading) the file to other users.
6. You can now go to the BT folder and copy your file to your Private folder. If you don’t intend
to share this file with other BitTorrent users, you can now remove it from the download
queue.
Note
Once the Torrent has been added to the queue, the NT2 LAN can download the files by itself and
the computer can be turned off.
