5.3. USING THE DOWNLOAD MANAGER
To download large files directly to BUBBA, without needing to leave your
PC on at home, or without needing to load your work internet connection
with private files, use BUBBA’s Download Manager.
Just click ‘Downloads’ in the left menu, past the link to the file you want
to download and press ‘add’. Currently, it supports standard HTTP, FTP
and bittorrent downloads. You don’t need to open any ports in your
firewall when using the download manager.
Another way to download torrent files is to place the .torrent file in your
download catalogue on BUBBA, /home/[user name]/downloads. This is a
convenient way if you for example want to script your downloads.
NOTE: When downloading bittorrents, note that the download manager
will continue to share the file until you press ‘clear’.
