Download
Speed
This is how fast the NSA is getting the file.
It is normal for a P2P download to start out with a slow download speed since it has to set
up numerous connections. The speed should increase as the download progresses and
decrease near the end of the download.
Upload Speed This is how fast the NSA is sending the file to other P2P users.
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.
Error Code This appears in the Error tab.
This shows the tag for the error that occurred.
