How to use QGet to manage the BT download of multiple QNAP NAS servers remotely

QNAP NAS supports Download Station which you can use to download files independent of PC in a more energy-saving way. You can also manage the download tasks remotely even if you were away from home.

To access the Download Station of the NAS, you can login the web-based interface by web browser or use the Windows/ Mac QGet utility provided by QNAP.

Features of QGet

1. Allows access to the NAS over the Internet and remote management of the download tasks after setting up QNAP NAS and configuring the DDNS settings.
2. Multiple QNAP NAS servers can be maintained simultaneously.
3. After you have downloaded a torrent file to your computer, e.g. from http://www.bittorrent.com, you can double click the file or drag and drop the file to QGet and execute the download instantly.
4. You can view the download percentage, pause/ restart/ delete the download tasks, configure the download settings of different NAS servers, etc.
5. The download percentage of all running download tasks is shown on a mini floating window for convenient browsing.
6. QGet is a license-free utility which can be used on Windows and Mac.

Mac QGet Interface


Windows QGet Interface


Besides PC-less download, QNAP NAS supports UPnP/ DLNA media sharing that you can play the multimedia contents on the NAS by any compatible media player in LAN. You can set up your home multimedia centre by the NAS.

hello all...
is the D-Link DNS-323 support 1.5TB HDD? buy two HDDs and is it supprot 3TB?

we are not dlink salesman.haha
i think can't support latest 1.5TB bah.

tanya saja... because on the box said up to 2000GB, just curious whether can support up to 3000GB or 3TB since we have 1.5TB HDD available in Malaysia isn't it?

so far, we try before about 97kb/s

Added on October 30, 2008, 11:18 pmenh..... Synology and QNAP is testing the 1.5TB now... should take some time to certify...


but some Synology user claim that it work with 1.5TB, Seagate ST31500341AS ,1500TB, SATA II

http://www.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Use...ble_Hard_Drives

I believe the new model of Synology/QNAP NAS will be able to support.

model like:
Synology
DS-508, RS408/DS408

QNAP
TS409/509 series....

anyway, once the disk is tested and working fine, than we can post here...
