The Download Manager is a feature of &brandShortName; that allows you to track and
manage your past and current file downloads. It is a convenient way to escape the
clutter of multiple downloading windows while still preserving access to download
statistics.
The Download Manager will appear when you download files, when you select
Tools > Downloads, and when you type
Ctrl+J on your keyboard.
What can I do with the Download Manager?
In addition to keeping information on all your downloads in one place, the
Download Manager keeps convenient download actions easily accessible for each
of your downloads.
Pause
You can pause any downloads currently in progress by clicking the
Pause link beside the file entry. This may be useful, for
example, if you need to open a small download started after a large download.
Pausing downloads gives you the choice to decide which of your downloads are
most important. When you want to continue downloading those files, simply use
the Resume link to finish those downloads.
Cancel
If after starting a download you decide you no longer need that file, canceling
the download is simple: just use the Cancel link beside that file
entry to cancel it and free up your connection for your browsing and other
downloads.
Show File Location
When a download has finished, the Show link will appear by the
file entry. Use it to open the folder where &brandShortName; saved the file.
Remove the File's Entry
If you do not wish to store information on a particular download, removing the
entry is as simple as the click of a mouse. Simply use the Remove
link beside the file entry to delete it.
Retry a Download
If for any reason a download does not complete, it is easy to attempt the
download again. To recover from a failed download and retry it, just use the
Retry link next to the file entry and &brandShortName; will
restart the download for you.
Download Manager Options
The options for the Download Manager are accessible by clicking the
Options button in the Download Manager or by opening the
Downloads panel in the Options panel. They allow you to set
several downloading preferences. More information regarding the various
options is available in the
Options page.
