Additional and Usefull!!
-click on the tab called "performance" then set the following
-"Max no of simul down"- whatever you want(but from 3 upto 5 is preferable)
-"no of parts" chenge it from the default value 4 to 500 or 1000.when
you increase the parts your download speed will also increase.but
remember that when you increase the parts number yourcomputer may stack.
-and set 0 for the "Do not split files.." field from its default value
100.this is b/c when the file to be download remains with only 100
kb,this 100 kb will not be splited into small parts.this causes the
downloader to take more time to finish downloading.
-finaly
set 3 for the "retry delay(seconds)" tab from its default value 30.this
is b/c star downloader works best if you only pause(when the download
speed reaches/minimizes to under 10kb) and resume(to regive the
downloader its best downloading speed) downloads.Here you don't have to pause and resume when the downloading
file is on combining stage(if you pause & resume at this stage the
download starts from the bigining).so when you pause and resume downloads,if you set 3 sec,it automaticaly resumes unfinished tasks.but if you set 30 sec it takes 30 sec to resume the task.
-optionaly click the "dialogs" tab and uncheck "download window" to
decrease the stack percentage of your computer(that means your
computer may stop working properly in order to display the downloading
pop up window ).
-AFTER THIS simply click the the "Add" tab or the plus()+ sign and
copy the download link into it then click ok.wait the downloader to
contact the site and write the size of the file on the displayed window.
That's it!!
