We are pleased to announced the immediate availability of uGet 1.10.3 on Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail)

This announcement is not a new release, this is just informing users of Ubuntu 13.04 that uGet is now officially available for use on that version of Ubuntu.

How to Install/Update:

You can use the PPA or DEB files provided on the Downloads page.

How to Download Multiple Files Easily (aka Batch Downloading)

The following video explains how to use uGet to do batch downloading which refers to adding multiple files to the queue simultaneously for downloading. This video tutorial talks about the Clipboard Monitor, URL Sequence Downloads, Importing from .TXT and .HTML files and using Flashgot through Firefox. I may write a transcript for this video at some point but this video should be plenty to explain it. :)

Changing the Default Download Location/Folder

This process is actually very easy to do...the way to do it is editing the properties of the Home category which is the only category by default.

Textual Walkthrough:

1. Right click the Home category in the uGet main window.
2. Select "Properties".
3. Click the 2nd tab at the top, "Default for new download 1".
4. Change this setting to whatever location/folder you want to be the default for this category.

This feature and tutorial is not limited to just the Home category...this can be done with as many categories as you want to make allowing you to easily switch between many different default settings and folders.

Ambiance Tray Icons

Radiance Tray Icons

First of all, I would just like to apologize again for missing this before the release of 1.10.3 but unfortunately we didn't so until we can address this and release a permanent fix, I decided to package up the icons separately for those who would like to use them as soon as possible. This download is just a quick fix and will require root to overwrite the existing icons. You'll find the download and the How To after the break...
