After your P2P download and sharing are finished, you can go to the incoming folder within the
destination share or folder and delete the .torrent file if you need to free up hard disk space.
17.11.3 Download Service Notification
Use the download service notification to keep track of downloaded files on the NAS. You can
subscribe to the NAS’s download list on your computer. When the NAS finishes downloading new
files, your RSS reader displays the information and links for the files. You can also download the
files from the RSS reader to your computer.
See Section 14.7.3 on page 168 for a tutorial about using the download service notification.
In the Download Service screen, select Enable Download Notify and click Apply . An RSS feed
icon appears. Click the icon to subscribe to the NAS’s download list.
Note: The download service notification only keeps track of files downloaded via P2P
download.

17.11.4 P2P Download Security
When you download using P2P, you reveal your IP address. This increases the risk of hacking
attacks, which can be protected against by a good firewall.
Use a Hardware-based Firewall
Place a hardware-based firewall between your network and the Internet (a software-based firewall
on your computer would just protect the computer itself, not the NAS since your computer is not
between your NAS and the Internet).
