Good things to know

• Downloads won't start off immediately because the program is designed to check the queue for new downloads every 10 seconds.

• Since there isn't a progress bar, enabling debug mode could be helpful in this situation.

• By clicking on the table, you can instantly add more downloads. Any entry marked as "downloading" will be inaccessible for modification

• Sorting and filtering functionalities should also be operational
