Getting info on the properties of your downloads, and learning about the different ways to get FlashGet to do its stuff.

Go to the Tools menu, click on Options... then Proxy. Check both HTTP and FTP Default to direct connection, or add your own Proxy server address (ask your network administrator for it) by clicking on Add That's all you have to do. Now you can use FlashGet to download files.

FlashGet's download system is quite different to the others. FlashGet arranges download jobs in top-to-bottom order; higher positioned jobs get downloaded before lower positioned jobs. We think this is much more intuitive. You can rearrange the order by selecting jobs and press the Up or Down arrow on the toolbar. Hold down the Ctrl key when clicking Up or Down and you can move jobs directly to the top or the bottom in a convenient single step. Use Shift and Ctrl keys to select multiple files.

Go to the Tools menu, then Options... , then File Manager. Select the Use virus scanner to scan the downloaded file(s) checkbox. Now specify the path of the required exe file and its instruction variable. For example:

FlashGet can categorize downloaded files and place them in specified folders, each category has its own directory. For example the category MP3's default hard drive directory is c:\download\mp3. When placing a file into MP3, the actual file will be placed in c:\download\mp3. All downloaded jobs can be moved to any category, moving the actual file to the folder in the process. Downloaded is the default category. Changing its hard drive directory changes the default download directory as well.

Default download datebase(default.jcd) is corrupted, please use backup download database(default.bk1,default,bk2,default.bk3) recover it.

Press Capture menu then select Options menu item, popup Capture child dialog, check Include DirectX Surfaces mark.
