Before adding a new download task it is recommended to customize general download settings to achieve even more sufficient results with Folx. Choose "General" tab in Preferences:

• Max active tasks: Choose the maximum number of active tasks.
• User agent is the application which connects to server. This option is applicable to HTTP/HTTPS connections only.
• Connection type is the means by which you connect to the Internet (e.g. dial-up). Read more about existing connection types in Wikipedia.
• Min size per thread: Set minimal size of data fragmentation after which a new thread will be started.
• Update interval is a time period when reports (e.g. download progress, speed etc) are updated.
• Number of retries is a number of times Folx tries to download a file when there are download errors (connection is broken, server is overloaded etc.). Maximum number is 100 times. In case all attempts, the number of which you've specified, are unsuccessful, you get "Critical error" message, and the download task is assigned an "Error" status.
• Auto-start downloading active tasks on Folx startup: Check this box to start downloading automatically when Folx has been launched.
• Use Folx to catch download links in browsers: Check this box if you want links to be automatically caught by Folx.
• Show "New task window" when adding new download: Check this box if you want "New task window" to appear when you start a new download task.
• Show status menu: Check this box if you want to enable Status menu.
