Chapter 2. Using KGet

KGet Tutorial

Here is a brief tutorial that uses some of the features of KGet. Below are three software packages that are to be downloaded. Suppose you want to download the middle one first and then the top and bottom ones second.

  1. Place KGet in offline mode, by choosing the menu item Options->Offline Mode.

  2. Click on the top entry with the left mouse button. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on the bottom entry. KGet should look similar to this:


    Items to be downloaded from Konqueror

  3. Click on the delay button to prevent these items from being downloaded.

  4. Now click on the middle entry to highlight it. The top and bottom items will no longer be highlighted.

  5. Put KGet back online by unchecking Options->Offline Mode and KGet will download the middle item.

  6. Click on the top item, hold down the Shift key and click on the bottom item. KGet should look like this:

    Note

    Holding down the Ctrl key allows you to select individual items; holding down the Shift key allows you to select consecutive items, while clicking with the left mouse button.

  7. Now click on the Queue icon or choose Transfer->Queue to download the two highlighted items.
