Connections

Anonymous downloads using TOR network - select this option if you want AbleSearch Manager to download files via encrypted TOR network connections. Thanks to it you will keep anonymity and no one will know what you download from the Internet. Usually downloads are a bit slower. You should also set one thread for each file (the file is not downloaded in many parts at once) and a bigger timeout.

In the Server field you should give the address or the IP number of a proxy. Some proxies also require a user name, password and a port number.

If you want to use a FTP proxy server, you must also know its type (Proxy, Socks4a, Socks5). If you are not sure, try to download a file with different settings.
