Download Helper manages your Internet downloads so that you can continue browsing and save the time-consuming parts for later. It features a convenient drop basket to hold all that you want to download. The drop basket icon is a separate button-sized icon that can be positioned onto your browser's toolbar. You can gather many download links, then begin the actual downloads later, whenever you wish. You can also have the downloads begin unobtrusively in the background at a rate that will not interfere with continued browsing. If your connection is interrupted, Download Helper can usually resume at that same point.

What else can be controlled and what are the general use defaults?
