After installation, return to this page to select one of the Metalink 3.0 Examples above for downloading. When you open the link, it will trigger GetRight and you will be prompted to select a download location. Once you choose the download location, click on the Options button in the download status window. In the Options menu, choose 'Accelerated (Segmented) Downloading' and then choose the number of mirrors you want to use from the menu. Most likely, you'll want all future downloads to be automatically segmented. To achieve this, you'll need to change GetRight's configuration. First right-click on the GetRight icon in the bottom right corner of your screen (the system tray) and then left-click on 'GetRight Configuration'. Go to Downloads then Accelerate & check the box for "Automatically do Accelerated (Segmented) downloading..." |
