InstantGet

How to Add a Download to Jobs Queue

There are several ways you can add a download, and you can use any of them.
Microsoft Internet Explorer, MSN Explorer, NetCaptor or NeoPlanet:
  • Just click on the download link/button and an InstantGet dialog will appear instead of standard Save As... dialog.
  • Choose "Download with InstantGet" in context menu (right click on the link to invoke it).
Floating Window: The InstantGet floating window accepts drag and drop in many different formats.
  • Drag the link from your favorite browser (including graphic links) and drop it to InstantGet floating window.
  • Select a fragment of the web page with your mouse in the browser window and then drag it to the floating window. All links embedded in the fragment will be added to the Job List.
  • A list of URLs from the text editor (each URL should be on a separate line).
Command line parameters: If a URL specified as command line parameters when InstantGet is started, will add a new Job to the jobs queue. Only one instance of InstantGet can run at any given time. If you start InstantGet.exe with command line parameters when the program is running, it will just add the URL to the jobs queue.
Also there are a few ways apart from above:
  • You can select File/Import List... to import a list of URLs.
  • You can select Jobs/Batch Download... to add batch of URLs with a pattern in their names.
  • You can use Copy Shortcut in your browser and then manually add it to the queue by pressing Ctrl+V or by clicking the Add button.
  • You can use Copy Shortcut in your browser, then right click on the InstantGet icon in the System Tray and select New download... from the menu.
  • Or, you can use Copy Shortcut in your browser, then right click on the floating window and select New download... from the menu.
  • Finally, you may type-in the necessary URL manually after clicking the Add button.
After you click a link or click the Add button the Properties dialog appears where you can edit properties of your download. If you want to save the file with another name type this name in the Save As field. Press OK when done editing.
