The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Time Left This is how much longer (in hours, minutes, and seconds) it should take to finish
the download at the current download speed.
Priority This is the download’s priority on the NSA. You can set a currently downloading or
queued download to high or automatic priority. You can set a download to high
priority to have the NSA try to download it before the other files. However the
actual download speed depends more on factors like the speed of you Internet
connection, the speed of the download source’s Internet connection, how many
others are trying to download at the same time, the peers and seeds available and
general network conditions.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
URL Paste the URL of the file you want to download into this field. The URL can be for an
HTTP, FTP, or BitTorrent download.
For a BitTorrent 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 BitTorrent 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.
