NT monitors the clipboard, but you need to enable that first.
On the tool bar, goto Options | General | Integration | Clipboard,
and enable the button there. Then in any browser or file manager,
right click on the file or link, and choose somethin like 'copy' or
'copy link'. If you have NT running, it'll pop up a dialog box, then
just choose 'OK'. The download will start. You can also get whole
dirs from ftp or http sites this way. Some sites don't cooperate
tho, so then just choose any file in the dir, and in the dialog box
edit it down to .../*.rpm (or whatever). NT will then load all the
files in that dir.
Take a few minutes to look thru all the items under Options.
Most of the defaults are fine, but you should see what all you can
configure. Pay attention to the throttle options under 'Main'. Very
useful if you've got a d/l going and you want to use your limited
bandwith connection for other stuff at the same time.
