Tips and questions

Why does it say the file is blocked?

Some servers do not let other sites fetch their files. Open Proxy settings to go through a proxy. Or download it from the site itself.

How do I check the file is not damaged?

Does the site list a SHA-256 checksum? Paste it into Checksum (SHA256) under Advanced Options. The tool checks the file at the end.

Can I limit the speed?

Yes. Set a Bandwidth limit in Advanced Options. Then the download will not slow down everything else.

Privacy

Files come straight from the source to your browser. Wivrix only sees the file if you turn on the proxy.
