This allows us to set up the priorities of the download processes.

Activating this is a matter of personal preference. When downloading a post from, for example, GrabIt automatically creates a folder called in our download folder. With this option selected, a separate folder will be created in our download folder for each Usenet newsgroup we download from. I left the entries as they were, but feel free to enter your own locations.Īt the bottom you can choose to activate the Create separate folders for each Usenet newsgroup option. Here we can change the default locations for the cache and the download folder. We skip the Visual tab and go directly to the Folders tab. We can also associate NZB files with GrabIt by selecting the corresponding checkbox. This will have GrabIt download the selected files to our default download folder when clicking the ‘Grab’ button. In the lower part of this tab I selected Grab selected is the default action. Disabling the ‘save batch and exit’ and the ‘restart batch’ confirmations has no effect on the download process so I left these unmarked. As for me, I turned Minimize to tray on, because I want GrabIt to minimize to my system tray when downloading. The settings that we can change here are obvious. The first tab, called Interface, allows us to configure settings related to GrabIt’s interface. But let’s start configuring GrabIt first.Īs you can see, a window called GrabIt – Preferences pops up.

These give us access to several GrabIt functions that will be discussed later in the tutorial. First we see a row of buttons that allow us to perform the most common actions. The GrabIt interface has a very simple layout. When we start GrabIt, we see its main screen, which is shown below.
