13This section describes how to configure a download task and control the downloading process.

16Access the "Download" view by clicking its tab. The top half of the screen shows the downloading controls. The bottom half is initially empty, but will show a list of pending and completed downloading jobs.
17<p></p>
18Files are downloaded into a folder in the workspace called "Downloaded Files" (only present when mirroring is enabled), and can be used in all collections built with the Librarian Interface. Files in this area are named by their full web URL. A new folder is created for each host, followed by others for each part of the path. This ensures that each file is distinct.
19<p></p>
20Use the first of the download configuration controls, "Source URL", to enter the URL of a target resource. Use the "Download Depth" control to limit how many hyperlinks to follow when downloading: Set this to 0 to download a single web page; set it to 1 to download a page and all the pages it points to. The depth limit is ignored when downloading media other than html pages. Next, there are several checkbox controls which can be set to turn on the specified feature for a specific download. Once the configuration is set up, click "Download" to start the new download job. There are two other button controls: "Preferences", which links to the connection section of the Preferences where proxy settings can be edited; and "Clear Cache", which deletes all previously downloaded files.
21<p></p>
22The download list has an entry for each web page download. Each entry has a text region that gives details of the task along with a progress bar showing current activity. Three buttons appear to the left of each entry. "Pause" is used for pausing a currently downloading task. "View Log" opens a window showing the download log file. "Close" terminates the download and removes the task from the list.

25The <a href="preferences.htm#preferences">Preferences section</a> describes how to establish an Internet connection via a proxy. If authentication is needed, the proxy server prompts for identification and password. The Librarian Interface does not store passwords between sessions.
