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 press
&accelKey;+J&accelKey;+Y.
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.
Open the File
When a download has finished, the Open link will appear
by the file entry. Use it to open 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.
Show Download Folder
If you have set &brandShortName; to save all downloads to a folder in
Download Manager &pref.pluralCaps;,
you can open this folder by clicking the Folder Name at the
bottom of the Download Manager window.
Download Manager &pref.pluralCaps;
The &pref.plural; for the Download Manager are accessible by opening the
Downloads section of the Main panel in the &pref.pluralCaps; window.
They allow you to change several downloading &pref.plural;. More information
regarding the various &pref.plural; is available in the &pref.pluralCaps; page.
