How to use download managers

Put.io supports most of the download managers. Here is what you need to do:

UPDATE: Important Note: If you don't enter the authentication information to the download manager, your download WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RESUME. Please make sure you entered the right information.

(Tested with Free Download Manager, igetter, Speed Download, Flashget, cURL)

• You need to be logged in to Put.io before starting to download.
• If during the download process you log out, then you need to enter your Put.io username or email as http username, and Put.io password as http password in the download manager settings. (entering username instead of email is recommended. Some download managers don't handle this well.)
• Save the username and password for the domain, if you'd like the dm to remember. (Do not save your password, if you are sharing the computer you are using with someone else.)

Example Usage:

Speed Download (Mac OS X only):

Click on the plus icon to add a download. In the "add download" dialog box, check "Authentication required" option; Enter your Put.io email in "User" field, and Put.io password in "Password" field and click on download. You can enter more then one URL at the same time.

Wget:

wget --http-user=YOUR_PUT.IO_USERNAME --http-password=YOUR_PUT.IO_PASSWORD  http://put.io/URL -O FILENAME.EXT

You can use either your Put.io username or email as http-user.

Free Download Manager:

In the "add download" dialog box, check "User name and password are required" option; Enter your Put.io username (not the email) in "User" field, and Put.io password in "Password" field and click on download.

iGetter:

Although downloading files seperately with iGetter works fine, it doesn't play well with our "Download Selected" feature. We don't recommend using it. If you must, make sure to enter your Put.io username and password as athentication information for the download. (Item settings > Advanced). Always choose "1 connection" for while downloading by "Download Selected"

cURL:

curl -u YOUR_PUT.IO_USERNAME:YOUR_PUT.IO_PASSWORD --location-trusted  URL  -o  FILENAME.EXT  -C -
