Advantages of using MiPony for our downloads

How to use MiPony
The first step we need to take in order to use MiPony is to download the program from the project's official website and install it on our computer.
The installation process is really simple, since we will only have to click the "Next" button a couple of times that the wizard will present. At the end of the process you will be able to use the program.
MiPony is a very complete program that even offers us a web browser, which we can use to find all the files we want to download.
Obviously, we can also use Chrome over Firefox, although the advantage of using the browser integrated in this program is that we will be less exposed to malware that some file download sites may contain.
To start adding the download links of the files, we just have to click with the mouse on the " Add links " tab .
We will see how an area appears at the top of the program where we can paste all the links of the files we want to download. Once we have added them, we just have to click on "Detect links". We can also use the " Paste and detect links " button to do the whole process in one go.
A very interesting feature of MiPony is that the program is also capable of automatically detecting the links that we have added to the Windows clipboard . This means that when we click copy on a link in our browser, the program will automatically detect it.
Once the links are detected, we will have to click on the button "Download selected" or " Download selected in folder ". The first option will download all the files in the program's default folder, while the second will allow us to specify the download path. We can even put the password of the protected files to extract them automatically and save us work.
After that the download will begin immediately.
It's that simple to use MiPony to automate and speed up your downloads.
