The first thing to do after downloading and installing the app is to go to the adjust some preferences.

Go to Preferences (Command + Comma).

There are several tabs.

We’ll start from General.

Here, users can set things like the maximum active task, user agent, and connection throw in.

Then there’s the Folder tab where users can set the location of the downloaded files.

02_folders_preferences

you could use the Speed tab to set different speed limits for individual browsers.

Do the Download, dude!

Now for the fun part: downloading the files.

03_scheduler_preferences

Another way is to select then drag and drop the link to the dropbox.

you’re free to move the location of the dropbox easily by dragging it.

By default, a New Task window will pop out every time a new download about to start.

04_speed_preferences

Users can adjust individual options for each download - including adding tags to the file - from this window.

Everybody knows that tags are an important factor in good file management.

This option is important because some download servers only allow one active download segment.

05_future_features

This window may be deactivated in the preferences

For further information on the features, like read theDocumentation.

Do you have alternatives to a free stand alone Mac download manager?
