Torrent Overview
Torrent downloads allow you to share files using a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. With torrent download
enabled, you can download files using the torrent protocol to your px6-300dand then those files can be
uploaded by other torrent users.
After you have added torrent jobs to your torrent share, the torrent download page displays a table of torrent
jobs, showing both downloads and files available for upload. Multiple torrent files can download
simultaneously. The table information includes the name of the file, its size, download or upload status,
and amount of time remaining for the torrent job to complete.
