The download.conf file purposes:

1.During creating and operating of Dr.Web Servers cluster system, the file allows to distribute the load between the Servers of a clusters when connecting a large number of new stations.

2.If a custom port is used at Dr.Web Server, the file allows to specify this port during generating installation file of the Agent.

The download.conf file is used during generating the installation file for a new station of the anti-virus network. Parameters of this file allows to specify address of the Server and the port, which are used to connect the Agent Installer to the Server, in the following format:

download = { server = '<Server_Address>'; port = <port_number> }

where:

<Server_Address>—IP address or DNS name of the Server.

During generating of the Agent installation file, the Server address is taken from the download.conf file first. If the Server address is not specified in the download.conf file, when value of the ServerName parameter from the webmin.conf file is taken. Otherwise, the name of the computer, returned by an operating system is used.

<port_number>—port to connect the Agent Installer to the Server.

If the port is not specified in the download.conf file, 2193 port is used by default (sets in the Administration → Dr.Web Server configuration → the Network tab → the Transport tab in the Control Center).

By default, the download parameter is disabled in the download.conf file. To use the download.conf file, uncomment this parameter by deleting the "--" in the start of the line, and specify corresponding values of an address and a port of the Server.
