Available Settings
Notifications
You can toggle download completion notifications on or off. You can also change the notification sound that plays when a download finishes.
Default Download Location
Set the default folder where new downloads are saved. You can always override this on a per-download basis when adding a new download.
Simultaneous Downloads
Control how many downloads can run at the same time. Increasing this number allows more files to download in parallel, but may reduce individual download speeds depending on your internet connection.
Warning Dialogs
If you have previously dismissed warning dialogs in the app, you can reset them from the preferences panel so they appear again.
Tip: If you frequently download files to a specific folder, set it as your default download location to save time.
