Folx - How to use Download controls

Folx possesses powerful tools to manage all your downloads quickly and comprehensively:

Let's overview all Download controls:

 

  • Add a task to Downloads list

It's simple! Click "Add" button to add a new task. Read this section for details.

  • Start a download process

Click "Start" button, or go to Main menu --> Transfers --> Start Selected, or Transfers --> Start Selected in Status window.

While adding a new download task, you can choose the way to start a download: manually, scheduled or immediately.

Once the download is complete, you receive Growl notification about it. This allows you to take a total control of your downloads. Enable/disable Growl notifications for Folx in System Preferences.

  • Pause a download process

Click "Pause" button.

  • Delete a download task

To delete a download task only from Folx Downloads list, click "Delete" button at Download controls panel.

To delete a task (together with all its files) from your hard drive via Folx interface, right-click this task in Downloads list and choose "Delete with Files" option. Deleted files are moved into Trash, from where you have to delete them yourself.

  • Move a task to the top/bottom of Downloads list

Click "Priorities" buttons to move the task to the required position.

This option is also available from Main menu --> Transfers. To move the task to the topmost or the lowest position in Downloads list hold Alt key and choose the required option ("Top priority" and "Lowest priority" respectively).

  • Edit a download task

Choose the task in Downloads list. Click "Edit" button. Now, in "Edit task" window you can change the download settings, which are similar to those when you add a download task: add URL, add a tag, choose a folder, etc.


Note: To stop a download process go to "Transfers" in Main menu and select "Stop Selected" item, or Transfers --> Stop Selected in Status window.
