1. Content on the download station

To filter the list of content displayed in CMP I applied a preset filter by selecting the "Download Station" tab. This will narrow the list of content to only those items on the DLS. I have narrowed the search even further by applying a secondary filter using "Author ID" and the "#86105" userID. This narrowed the search to around 120 items.

2. Adding items to download helper

Once you have found the item you want to download then you can add it to download helper by either dragging and dropping the asset into the window or by right clicking on the asset and selecting "Download" from the context menu. You are not limited to one asset at a time, you can select as many assets as you like. Once the item has been added click on the "Start" button and download helper will begin the search for dependencies and will also download the creators banner if one is available.

3. Downloading the items

Once download helper has found all the dependencies for an item it will stop and wait. To see the list of dependencies click on the arrow pointing to the right of the screen and the list will be expanded. In the following table the various icons are listed with a short definition. If the download can be found on the download station and everything appears to fine then click on the "Start" button again and the download helper will proceed to download all the selected content. An animated icon will appear to show that the download has started. Once the download is complete download helper should clear the list automatically.
