Whenever I download with Uget, The Default Download folder is $HOME (for my case /home/pandya).

I know I can change download destination at time as follows:

But I want to change it permanently so-that I don't need to change every time.
Where is setting or How to change?

  • not only the default download location can be changed in this way, but also the number of connections and other settings –  Dec 05 '14 at 20:44
  • I needed to relaunch my uGet for the new downloads to use the new location. I'm on Debian running uGet 2.0.8. – Sufian Jun 19 '19 at 09:13

Textual Walkthrough: (from our documentation)

  1. Right click the Home category in the uGet main window.
  2. Select "Properties".
  3. Click the 2nd tab at the top, "Default for new download 1".
  4. Change this setting to whatever location/folder you want to be the default for this category.

This feature and tutorial is not limited to just the Home category...this can be done with as many categories as you want to make allowing you to easily switch between many different default settings and folders.

    why on earth would people downvote the official answer from an official project member? – Michael Tunnell Jun 30 '14 at 23:51
  • visit [answer contains link only](http://meta.stackexchange.com/q/92505) & [this](http://meta.stackexchange.com/a/84345) – Pandya Jul 01 '14 at 05:37

    That doesn't explain why because the link contains screenshots on the tutorial page. If it was a link to some random page for traffic padding then fine but it is the official answer from the official website. It doesn't make sense for it to be downvoted. – Michael Tunnell Jul 18 '14 at 16:21
  • what do yo mean by "official answer"!? – Pandya Jul 18 '14 at 16:26

    Official Answer as in I am the project manager for uGet, I answered this question previously on our official website. The link I provided was to that page. – Michael Tunnell Jul 21 '14 at 01:27
  • @Pandya - are you aware of the answer to your comment? –  Dec 05 '14 at 20:38
  • what's important is that the solution is posted, no matter that in other answer than yours –  Dec 05 '14 at 20:43
  • I am bothered purely for the negative vote count for providing the answer to the question. I wouldn't care if it was zero but for it to be negative for helping people with an application I manage is just irritating. – Michael Tunnell Dec 06 '14 at 04:24
  • @MichaelTunnell The point is that whenever you update that website and break the link, which will probably happen, as has happened countless times for countless other things, this answer will become utterly useless, until such time that you update the link. The other answer will remain relevant barring changes to the software itself. The vote is negative because you failed to follow this site's standards. Would you accept poor code from a contributor? – Félix Saparelli Dec 09 '14 at 12:44
  • @MichaelTunnell v2.2.0, I had to delete excess config-folders stacked up from usage by deleting lines from `~/.config/uGet/Setting.json` under `FolderHistory` albeit after closing uGet session ;-) – जलजनक Apr 08 '18 at 22:19
