NomadBranch UI feedback and actions
Feedback and actions in this dialog are:
Feedback and actions | Description |
---|---|
Package ID | Name of the download package. |
Cached files | The cached files progress bar shows the percentage of the total number of files in the package that have been downloaded. In this example, approximately a 92% of the files in the package have been downloaded. The figures at the end of the progress bar show this is exactly 263 files out of 283. |
Cached bytes | The cached bytes progress bar shows the percentage of the total number of bytes in the package that have been downloaded. In this example, approximately a 26% of the total package has been downloaded. The figures at the end of the progress bar show this is exactly 188 MB out of 708 MB. |
Source location | This field identifies the source of the download. In this example, the package is being downloaded using HTTP from the share, SMS_DP_SMSPKG$ For more details, refer to Peer copy over HTTP or HTTPS and PermittedLSZShares. |
Work rate | The work rate slider determines the percentage of available bandwidth to use for the download. The default work rate is 80%. For example, if you drag the slider all the way to the left (1%), it improves network availability as Nomad uses only 1% of the available bandwidth, but the drawback is that it increases the duration of the download. You can configure intra-day work rates (using MaxWorkRates) for the client to maximize the use of available bandwidth over the course of a day. Work rates only apply to transfers from a DP not to P2P transfers within a LAN, hence, it does not apply to Single Site Download (SSD) downloads. |
Pause Job | Pauses a download in the queue or resumes it. |
Cancel Job | Cancels a download in the queue. |
