Download
| Get file Time from server Select this to keep a downloaded file's time stamp the same on the local machine as it is on the server. Delete successful transfer items automatically Select this to remove task entries from the queue after they have transferred. Keep downloading if the site does NOT support resume If unchecked, task will stop running on this case; otherwise task will always try connecting, which perhaps makes downloaded parts lost. Matching filename handling When the destination file is existed, you can choose "Rename", which means that NetTransport appends "(N)" at the end of filename, "N" is a sequence number parsed from existed filename and increased one. You can choose "Skip" to do nothing; or "Overwrite" the existed file. Task uses Username to match exact site If checked, NetTransport uses host and username to match its suitable site in the favorite, whose settings will be applied to the task; otherwise NetTransport does match with only host name. Continue downloading when HTTP status is 404 For certain HTTP servers, this status code 404 does not indicate nothing found, but means server is busy. So use this feature to keep trying. Reserve space on disk for entire file Use this feature to prolong your hard disk life, even you can set the value of "Performance/Disk cache size" to zero. Split songs for Shoutcast If unchecked, downloading Shoutcast is just like the normal HTTP task; if checked, program will save every song according to its title respectively, and append ".mp3" automatically if necessary.
Connection
| Global max connections The number of simultaneous connections you desire. For example, if the connections of every task is 2, max 50 tasks can run. LIVE and scheduled tasks are not calculated in this range. Number of Retries/Always Retry Set the number of times that NetTransport will attempt to reestablish when connection is failed. Check "Always Retry" to let NetTransport not give up retrying until connection is successful or interrupted by user. Bandwidth Throttles the bandwidth of all non-P2P sessions. If set to 0 (the default), there is no throttling. KB/Second The value of "Bandwidth" is displayed in kilobyte (KB) or byte. Enable port mapping using UPnP Select this to use the UPnP NAT interface to provide proper port-mapping when connecting securely from behind a NAT/firewall using FTP PORT mode, BT and eMule. Send the FEAT command to determine feature support Select this to ask the FTP server for a list of extended features it supports. Presently NetTransport only supports Z compression, which compresses files on the fly as you transfer, saves bandwidth and improves transfer performance. Dial-Up Networking It helps you connect to the Internet using Dial-Up networking. If line is off, it will dial-up automatically before any transfer. The list includes every dial-up connection on the local computer that is available in Microsoft Windows.
Graph/Log
| Scale The maximum bytes of data transfer histogram. You should set this value according to the maximum speed that your ISP can provide. KB/Second The value of "Scale" is displayed in kilobyte (KB) or byte. Overall The foreground color of histogram bar. Background The background color of histogram bar. Log Pane Choose individual foreground and background color for different kind of lines. Set Background Color Check/uncheck to choose background or foreground color for information lines. Reset Reset this tab to its initial value.
Monitor
| Confirmation When the downloadable link is captured, "New Download" dialog is displayed to allow you to accept or discard this URL. Clipboard If you copy some URLs into the Clipboard, checking this feature will create tasks for these legal URLs. Need to be parsed In many cases, a URL sometimes does not point to the actual file but a Web page such as acknowledgement, server selection, etc. This is a good feature to help you determine whether browse or download. Parse such URLs of which file extensions are in the "Monitor these Types" textbox. Uncheck if you have a narrow network since this feature slows down surfing. Wildcard match Check this to allow NetTransport to parse any URL including "?". If it is not a page, then get it. Monitor these Types Links or URLs with the listed extensions are considered as downloadable URLs. Otherwise a URL will not be added to the task queue. Associated .torrent file with NetTransport Allow NetTransport to be the default opening program for BT seed files. Monitor Browse Click Monitoring any URL, if its extension is in the "Monitor these Types" textbox, then NetTransport catches and creates a new task entry for it.
Performance
| Connection Buffer Store duplex control commands on connecting, default 64K is enough. Data Buffer Store received data packets. Save to disk when buffer is full. Commonly a value lower than 128K increases the saving amount and degrades performance due to relative slower disk operation; but a value higher than 512K is not very obviously helpful only spending a lot of memory. Sleep Time Please do NOT change this value. Auto save task database every In order to minimize the loss of data due to any unexpected crashes or the similar cases, NetTransport saves the download list every several minutes. If crashes do occur unfortunately, you only lose the unsaved data. The lesser the value is, the safer tasks are, but the lower performance is because of disk operation. Recommend use "System > Backup Task Database to" to save data file every day. Min Segment Size Block whose size is less than this value will not be split by any threads. Too small value perhaps leads NetTransport to take too high CPU usage. Disk cache size The received data is held in the internal cache firstly, if the amount reaches this value, then it will be written to the destination file. Reset Reset this tab to its initial value.
System Settings
| On program exit when files are being transferred If either FTP or BT tasks are running, it perhaps spends time up to one connection timeouts in closing NetTransport, because program is waiting for the replied messages from the FTP server or the end notify for Torrent trackers. Add URL through browser menu extend Includes Firefox, Opera, etc. Minimize at startup If unchecked, NetTransport starts with the last closing state of main window. Start transferring at startup Start all tasks that can be started. Display File Sizes in Adaptive causes NetTransport to decide when to show files in Bytes, KB, MB. Backup Task Database to Additionally saves task database to a specified directory, so that you can recover by "File > Import" in the future. The format of exported filename is "yyyy-MM-dd.database". Clear History Clear the stored content of "Task Properties > Directory", "Quick Connection bar" and "eMule Search" textbox.
Schedule
| This is global schedule. If a task has no own schedule entry, but you start it with "On Schedule", this task will obey the global schedule. Please refer to "Task Properties > Schedule", and you can't use keyword "/seq" here.
Event
| Sound Select this to hear audio cues for certain events in NetTransport and to edit the sounds associated with events. Select an event, then click button or type the path to a sound that you want, a sound icon will appear in the event list. To remove a sound from an event, select it, then clear the path textbox, the sound icon will disappear. You can preview the sound by clicking the speaker button . Run Virus Scanner Check this feature, when task is done, NetTransport will invoke your specified anti-virus software to scan its destination file or directory (for BT) whose extension matches "Scan file types" textbox. Open file types Check this feature to open task's destination file or directory whose extension matches "file types" textbox when task is done.
eMule
| Username Fill in the name you would like other users to see. Upload bandwidth Throttles the bandwidth of all eMule sessions. If set to 0 (the default), there is no throttling. eD2K Port This is used to open eMule service for other clients. Kad Use this feature to start Kademlia network for eMule. You can search resources and get them even not connecting to eMule servers, and this means more sources and more faster. Global maximum services This is the maximum allowed number of all the connections that other clients connect to NetTransport. Maximum passive connections per task Every task can accept the maximum number of connections that other clients connect to NetTransport, surplus connections will be closed. Maximum uploads per task You can limit how many connections every task uses to offer upload service. Enable Protocol Obfuscation Protocol Obfuscation is a feature which causes eMule to obfuscate or "hide" its protocol when communicating with other clients or servers. Without obfuscation, each eMule communication has a given structure which can be easily recognized and identified as an eMule packet by any observer. If this feature is turned on, the whole eMule communication appears like random data on the first look and an automatic identification is no longer easily possible. Recommend use this feature. Add servers when connecting to a server With this option eMule will retrieve the list of known servers from the server it is connected to. Tips, after adding desired servers, you can uncheck this feature to avoid server list not to be modified. Stop Seeding when done Stop uploading after the eMule task is done. This feature is not recommended. Automatically connect at startup Use this feature to make eMule connect to its server list at start-up. You must check this option if you want eMule task to start transfer at startup. Edit IP Filters Sometimes it happens that others send, intentionally or without knowing, corrupted data. This may prevent a file from completing properly or the file being totally corrupted. eMule introduces a basic filtering of IP. The IP-Ranges to filter are stored in a file named "ipfilter.dat" which is saved in the folder of NetTransport's task database file. This blacklist are also available to BitTorrent, and has the following format: IP-Range,Access Level,Description Access Levels: < 127 blocked; >= 127 permitted. This may reduce the number of sources for downloads. At the moment only one access level is implemented. A value below 127 means that any connection-attempt is denied. Example, 61.94.88.0 - 61.94.88.255,0,Xun.com. This entry will block the IPs from 61.94.88.0 to 61.94.88.255. Reload You must use this feature to make the modified filter rule available. Disk cache size For eMule, NetTransport decides the piece size is 190K and a piece is made up of 10 slices. When all slices of a piece are received, the piece will be written to the destination file. For BitTorrent, the piece size decided by the seed file is a multiple of 16K, but the slice size is fixed 16K.
BitTorrent
| DHT Use this feature to start DHT network for BT. DHT is similar with Kad except that you can not search resources. Protocol Obfuscation
Disable | No encryption.
Plain | The plaintext mode only provides basic anti-shaping obscurity, no security and low CPU usage.
RC4 | RC4 encryption obfuscates the entire stream and not only the header and adds some cryptographic security at the price of spent CPU cycles. This is the best choice.
