Bassa: User Guide

User Guide

You can even refer to a Video tutorial on how to use Bassa, available on Youtube

Once developed, Bassa will save internet bandwidth by downloading files when the traffic is low. In the current build, you can log in either as a user or as an admin and add links for files to download. The admin can start the downloads as and when he/she likes or when he/she feels that the traffic on the network is low. After the download, the users can get their files from local servers which does not need internet bandwidth.

1) If you’re a user:

• If you’re a new user, you need to sign up first and can only login after the admin has approved your account.

2) If you’re an admin:

• Only an admin account can access the “Admin” tab in Bassa
• In the admin tab, you have three available processes-
  a) Start/Kill downloads- You can start the downloads queued at the time of your liking
  b) Sign up Requests- As an admin, you need to approve the accounts of all the new users before they can start using Bassa
  c) Usage of top heaviest users- You get access to a graph that shows the usage percentage of the heaviest users

Common Functionalities

• Once logged in, navigate to the dashboard section. You can add a link to a file or a magnet link in the text field labeled “Add download*”. You can then see the link added under the “Ongoing downloads tab”
  
• After the admin has approved the download, your file begins to download. It gets saved on the local servers from which you can get your files without the use of external bandwidth
  
• In the “Completed” section, you can view all the details of downloads that Bassa has completed till now

Bassa is an essential tool for managing downloads and to make the best use of Internet Bandwidth. If you want to suggest a new feature, or even better, if you want to help develop Bassa further then visit the Github Repository
