While in the settings menu, the second tab is where all source website need to be specified, with various related options to maximum threads, file size, extensions of interest, scan depth, and more.

File filters, and preview areas

A size range can also be specified, with the possibility to set up a minimum disk space limit so that application stops downloading when reached.
When download is initiated, the status is shown in real time, with a panel displaying scan threads, and another actual download threads. A tree list is built in real time, with the possibility to explorer it in a dedicated tab. Moreover, media files like images, videos, and sounds all feature their own playback and preview tab.
