Pause, resume, or remove a task

Control Synology Download Station tasks from your iPhone or Mac.

Open the task queue and select a task to pause, resume, or remove it, depending on its current state.

Information in the task list

The task list can show file name, file size, uploaded and downloaded data, progress, upload and download speed, start time, time remaining, completion time, destination, and status. Columns visible in the Mac table depend on your column settings.

Filter and find tasks

You can:

  • Filter by All, Downloading, Completed, Active, or Inactive
  • Search task names
  • Switch between ascending and descending order
  • Sort by different fields
  • Refresh the task queue manually on Mac

On Mac, Swads remembers the selected view, task status, sorting, and table columns.

Common task states

In addition to waiting, downloading, paused, completed, and seeding, Swads can show writing, checking, broken link, broken destination, quota reached, connection timeout, duplicate task, extraction failure, or invalid file. These states come from Download Station.
