Download Folders and Filters

Folders You can use folders to arrange and organize your downloads. Folers have several options, such as priority settings, and designated 'save' directories. 'drag and drop' downloads into any folder you want to move the donwload there. If no folder is selected, all downloads will be shown.

Filters Filters are similar to folders, but work from the file extension. This is a good way to find files of a certain type (music files, ZIP files, etc.) Filters automatically search through the download list. And will find all appropriate files, regardless of what 'folder' they are in.
There is a special case filter "All in Progress" that will show all the files that are currently being downloaded.

Download History (Finished Downloads)

The history saves the last 250 files that GetRight has downloaded. Here you can find files you have downloaded with GetRight if do not remember where you saved them on your computer. Or you can find the donwload information if you need to re-download the file.
The history can use the same Folders and Filters as unfinished downloads. (See above for info on those.)
There are several 'special case' filters for the history which use the date that you finished the downloads. Today, Yesterday, Past Week, and Past Month will display the downloads that were finished during the selected timeframe. Probably the most useful of these is Today which will show only the things you have finished downloading that day. It's a great way to find a file when you finish downloading it.
