![](/files/iGRBL6YTCrRJ3VaAbRKX)

After selecting **Live WAN Downloads**, the default page in the right pane will be Download Status. There are other pages that can be used to manage the content transfers.

#### View and Manage All Live WAN Transfers

1. In the Content/Location pane determine if you want to view by Content or by Location or both by selecting the appropriate items. Selecting an item from the list of Content will update the **Showing results for:** in the right-pane, by default it will show the content going to All Offices

![](/files/CLnQLO3nqmAMh9xrNRbT)

2. Selecting Locations, expanding the list of Locations and selecting a specific location will then update the **Showing result for:** in the right-pane

![](/files/feK5ilY2kgK0WFiJC7bV)

3. If content is currently being transferred, the **LiveFlow Transfer Status** will show the progress of the transfer and the content item will be displayed in the **In Progress Downloads** section at the bottom.

* The LiveFlow Transfer Status has three sections:

  **Summary** This shows the number of active transfers, number of unique offices and the amount transferred to each destination

  **Current Downloads** This is a donut chart showing the amount of content Active versus Waiting

  ### **Average Transfer Rate** This is a line graph showing the speed at which the content is being transferred to each destination
* The **In Progress Downloads** will include information about the devices downloading the content -- **source** and **destination**, **percent complete**, **bytes sent**, and **transfer rates**.

4. To manage the content transfer between locations, select the ellipses (...) under **Actions** while hovering over a line item.
