Move heavy downloads to quiet hours and decide the order in which they run.

Add to the queue

When adding a link, choose to add it to the queue instead of starting immediately. Queued downloads wait for their turn or for their scheduled time.

2

Set a start time

Open Scheduler & Queue and set the start time. Repeat it daily to have the same task run every night at that hour.

3

Simultaneous downloads

Choose how many downloads run at once in Settings. The rest wait in the queue and start automatically as slots free up.

Simultaneous downloads are not the same as simultaneous connections: the first means several files at once, the second means several parts of one file.
4

Stop and resume the whole queue

Stopping the queue pauses everything and prevents new downloads from starting; starting it resumes them.
