- and age. Sorting is also possible in any order you want.

- already exist in your hd, e.g, my hd feature the complete Aminet dir tree
- with files downloaded on it, 'Test Exists ?' button will check files to
- avoid downloading already existing ones, 'Aminet Root' should be set to
- the root aminet dir on your hd.
