## Advanced

\
To grasp this better, checking out the **`get_info`** function in **`manual.py`** is the ideal way as it accepts a wider range of URLs.

## Scraping Individual Media

**1. Run a content scraper mode**

{% content-ref url="/pages/2YYyM421WpOZAv2y6i7M" %}
[Content Check Modes](/of-scraper/content-check-modes.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

**2. Use the mouse to toggle the checkmark of the row you want to download**\
\&#xNAN;*Note you can also toggle with  ";" or "',"* 

Only unlocked media will have a checkmark

* media marked for download will have 'added' in them

You can redownload by using ";" or "'" to untoggle and then retoggle with the added value

| Status      | Meaning                                                     |
| ----------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| added       | content is ready to be added to queue                       |
| downloading | content is added to queue, and will be downloaded           |
| downloaded  | content was downloaded and all post process were successful |
| failed      | content was not downloaded and or post process failed       |

### 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
