The program's right-click menu offers the same options as the edit menu. Other important options in HTTP Downloader include setting the default download folder, global speed limit, selecting the number of active downloads, FTP, Proxy and Server settings. There is a dedicated Login Manager that you can access from Options > Connection, for adding your username and passwords for servers. The Search option in the Tools menu can be a time saver when you want to find a download by its URL or name. Also available in this menu are options to copy the URL, remove, delete and rename the downloads. If the download that you requested requires to login to a server, you can enter your user credentials to authenticate it.
Resuming a broken download is as simple as using the Update download option and manually adding a different URL. You can Start, Pause, Stop, Restart, Pause active or Stop all downloads from the edit menu. The main pane displays the number of the download (queue item number), file type (icon), file name, downloaded and completed file sizes and a progress bar to serve as a visual indicator for the download's status. Drag and drop is supported to start new downloads. The file menu can be used to add a URL to download, or to save, export and import the download history.
If you want to, you can enable the toolbar from the View menu for quick access to some options. I like the clean look of the pane and the menu bar. The program's interface is quite basic and yet modern at the same time.
