QNAP Systems has announced the QGet remote download control utility for Mac. The system is aimed at improving Mac users' experience of using the Download Station of Turbo NAS series, by supporting PC-less BitTorrent, FTP, and HTTP download with proven energy-saving performance.

The Download Station is a powerful function of QNAP's Linux-embedded Turbo NAS, which uses a web browser to access the web-based Download Station. Using the QGet utility, Mac owners can now manage multiple download tasks of one to more QNAP NAS servers from LAN or over the Internet, remotely. An example provided by QNAP Systems says that “users can view the download percentage, pause / restart / delete the download tasks, set schedule download, or configure the download settings of different NAS servers.”

The QGet remote download management utility also supports multiple languages, such as English, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, German, French, Spanish, and Italian.
