I'm a new user trying UE. This question was sort of asked before but the steps to take were not clear.
I want to mark files for downloading but not have the downloading start at all until later when I come back into UE and tell it to start downloading all the marked ones.
I think the "Suspend article tasks marked for later download" in the Tasks menu is what I want but then how do I start all the downloads when I come back later?
how to download later
Re: how to download later
From the context menu advanced->download&save later.
The default shortcut is Alt+L
Also you can look at edit menu->properties->tasks, article tasks, download later priorities, in fact when you invoke the option it just marks for download with that priority.

Re: how to download later
If you download from the results of built-in search then you could just select "import only" and all selected articles will be placed into "import" section. When you feel like downloading it you just go there,select it ,press RMB and click download&save.
PS btw . Alex, how can i place files into "import" folder from within a group? I coudnt find this option.. and another thing.. could we have in "download later" priorities 'paused" option available? So that when we choose download&save later it is selected in a paused state?
Oh,, since we are talking about postponed downloading of selected articles.
It would be nice to have this feature.
You click on the items u need to get, select something like "save files to a custom list"(it gives you the option to create or choose a custom list if you already have some lists and puts articles into a new custom made "group"\list(or the one already created in the past) on the left side, where all subscribed groups can be found.

Re: how to download later
That didn't do it. I had no other tasks waiting and as soon as I hit Alt+L it downloaded the file immediately.
I want to be able mark any number of files for download later. At the time I mark them I do not want UE to try to download them at all. Several hours later I want to restart UE and only then have it start to download the files only after I press a key or something. Is that possible?

Alex
We already can create "new folder" on the left side,where all newsgroups are.. i suggest to make it available to import selected articles to these folders..so that later on we can download them.Almost the same as "import only"
it would be nice to be able to save articles into these folders with custom names for instance like Movies\XXX\etc filled with the corresponding stuff =)
beater
As of now, we have 2 options i think.
1) if u use built-in search, then u can "import only" all selected articles you want to download later. They will be stored in your import folder.
2) if u wanna save articles from a group then export them as nzb. Associate UE with nzb in the options
You must have settings set like this
(search\import=>NZB files=>associate with nzb files=> import only
Select articles you need to be saved and save nzb into UE's import folder on the disc
they will automaticalle appear in import folder of UE(nzbs will be put after that into "ue\import\old" folder)
When you feel like downloading u just open import , select what u want to get and choose download&save as usual
Settings:

And of couse you should keep in mind settings for "import"folder set in "Properities"-"Newsgroups". like retention etc

1.) be sure that the option in menu Task->Suspend article task marked for later download is checked.
2) use ALT+L on every article you want download later (or shift+ALT+L if you want UE create a folder automatically without ask you anything). In this way UE will put all those article in the download queue but in a paused state.
3) when you want UE start downloading those article just uncheck the Task->Suspend article task marked for later download
BTW that option is "sticky". So once you check it, UE remembers it even if you close the program.
So next time you start it again, you'll still have all your articles in queue waiting for download.
Re: how to download later
Could you post a screenshot? i dont see anything like that in "Tasks" windowTask->Suspend article task marked for later download is checked.
PS Oh my bad... its not there.. its the 'Tasks" that one shoudl select from the top menu
