GetRight is a tool to help you download files from the Internet.  While GetRight has many options to let you set it up to work how you want it to work, for starters, it is easiest to leave the default settings alone.

Starting Downloads:  GetRight will plug into Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 (and other web browsers) so that starting downloads with GetRight is as easy as clicking in your web browser.  When you click on a file to download, GetRight will take over and show its own "Save As" window and Download window.  (There are several other methods to have GetRight start downloads too.)

Resuming Downloads:  If a download stops for any reason, you can easily resume it with GetRight.  If the download window is still showing, just press the "Resume" button.  If it is no longer showing (such as if your computer has been shut down), just double-click on the GetRight logo in your Windows tray icons to open the Download Status window.   Then double-click the download from the list of all your downloads to resume it.

More Advanced Features:  Nearly all of the more advanced features are available from either the Download Status (to get there, just double-click on the GetRight logo in your Windows tray icons) or the Configuration window (to get there, just right-click on the GetRight logo in your Windows tray icons, and pick "Configuration" from the menu).
