General Preferences
There are a number of preferences available to customize Download Wizard
to your liking. They are available via the "Preferences" item under
the application menu.
Progress format
Determines in what format to display Download Wizard's progress column.
The "Bar" option will display the standard progress bar. The "Text"
option will display the progress in "bytes transferred/total size" format.
Monitor clipboard for addresses
When this option is active, Download Wizard will monitor the clipboard
for new addresses that are copied into it. If it discovers one,
it will attempt to transfer it.
Download new addresses immediately
Entering new addresses causes them to bypass the "Download Info" confirmation
dialog and transfer immediately.
Play sound when transfers complete
Plays the default system beep whenever a transfer completes.
Remove completed transfers from list
Just what it sounds like... transfers are removed from the list upon
completion.
Automatically open downloaded files
Upon completion of a transfer, Download Wizard will process the file using
the "default helper" application that is defined within the operating system.
For example, .sit would probably be opened by StuffIt Expander.
These associations can be changed within Mac OS X.
Save transfer list
Forces the files in the transfer list to remain even after quitting
Download Wizard (they will be there the next time it is run).
Advanced Preferences
There are also a number of advanced preferences that can be set. Most users
will want to leave them set to the defaults. Only change them if you
know what you are doing.
Max Active Transfers
This indicates the maximum number of transfers that can be active at
any given time. Any additional items added will be in a "pending" state
until an active one completes.
Retry Interval
Indicates the number of seconds to wait after a non-fatal error before
attempting the transfer again.
Retry Count
Indicates the number of times to retry a failed transfer before giving up.
Timeout
Indicates the number of seconds a transfer is allowed to remain inactive
(no data received) before timing out (a non-fatal error).
PPP reconnect delay
Indicates the number of seconds to wait between reconnecting the PPP
connection and beginning the transfer. This wait interval allows for
the time spent dialing the number, establishing the connection, etc.
The default value should be plenty of time, but is configurable in
case it isn't.
Recover PPP connections (registered only)
Indicates whether a dropped PPP connection should be re-established
before retrying a failed transfer. Note that this only applies to
transfers that were started with PPP active to begin with.
Use download acceleration
