Downloads

Manage all download tasks (pause, resume, retry or cancel), with a failed only filter. Playlists get their own batch download page. 🎉 Downloads feature ↗

The flash icon at the top sets how many downloads run at the same time (4 by default and up to 10), the icon shows the current value. The rest wait until a slot is free. 🆕 v7.1.0
The same dialog has “Threads per download”, how many connections each big file downloads over (3 by default and up to 8). 🆕 v7.4.0

Cache tasks show up here too, grouped under their playlist. While downloads or server caching are running, an icon with a count shows in the app bar, press it to open this page. 🆕 v7.4.0
