LABEL DESCRIPTION
Source
URL Paste the URL of the file you want to download into this field. The URL can be for an HTTP,
FTP, or P2P download.
For a P2P download, you can copy and paste the URL of the .torrent file. The NSA will
automatically download the .torrent file and use it. You do not have to manually download
the .torrent file or save it to your computer.
Note: Make sure the link opens either the file you want or a pop-up window about how to
handle the file.
It is also OK for the link to open a .torrent file. If you are redirected to a screen that says
the download should start in a few seconds, there may be a link to click if the download
does not start automatically. See if that link opens the file or the pop-up window.
Torrent File A “torrent” file has information the NSA uses to do a P2P download. A torrent file uses a
.torrent extension. If you already have a torrent file saved on your computer, select the
Torrent File option and specify its path or click Browse and look for its location.
