When client fingerprint emulation is enabled, a manually set User-Agent will not take effect. To fully customize request headers, set the fingerprint to "No emulation".

Request header presets

Common request header combinations can be saved as presets: Settings → Request header presets → Add. New tasks automatically start from the preset.

File selection

Multi-file tasks such as torrents and FTP directories can have their selections changed at any time, in any state.

  • Unchecking does not delete downloaded data; re-selecting resumes from the breakpoint.
  • A completed task automatically revives after selecting new files.
