Why Mipony asks me to insert text (captcha) to start the download?

“CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used in computing to ensure that the response is not generated by a computer. The process usually involves one computer (a server) asking a user to complete a simple test which the computer is able to generate and grade. Because other computers are unable to solve the captcha, any user entering a correct solution is presumed to be human.
A common type of captcha requires that the user type letters or digits from a distorted image that appears on the screen” (Wikipedia definition).

captcha

Mipony can solve the captcha by itself, but sometimes it isn’t possible because the servers make it complicated, so it’s necessary to continue you decipher the captcha.
To avoid captchas you can buy Premium accounts of servers you want or install the plugins that Mipony has published.

I want to download the file from a website and the program does not recognize it.

The program supports a wide range of files servers; however, it is always possible that you may want to download a file that is not supported. In the “Help” menu, through the “Send us failures and suggestions” option you can send us the link you want to download so that we can add support to such sever in the next program update.

Why are files download one at a time?

Mipony allows the simultaneous download of any number of files (changeable in Options), however some websites stipulate that if you don’t have a Premium account, downloads will be done one at a time, and that there must also be a delay between each file that Mipony must respect. The only solution to this limit is to sign up for a premium account.

Why do I have to wait for some downloads to begin?

Rapidgator, Uploaded, and other servers assign waiting times before and in between downloads or some maximum limits of MB available for download per day. This limit is mandatory, however the program optimizes these waiting periods to be as short as possible. The only way to avoid waiting times is having a premium account and configuring it in the Options window.

How can I upload link containers?

A link container is an encrypted file that has a list of links. To add the links of a container to the download links from the “Add links” screen, select the option “Open container” and then select the file.

Download files in defined folders.

Downloads can be stored in different folders created by the user before they are downloaded to have them more organized. Thus, a group of files can be selected in the “Add links” tab and clicking on “Download selections in folder” to choose a folder to be stored there when the files are downloaded. This way we can have downloads more organized.

How do I extract files that I download automatically?​

In the advanced options, Mipony gives the option to enable “Automatically extract rar files after downloading them”. Once this option is activated you can specify what folder the files will be stored in once the are extracted. To extract rar files after they are downloaded, a password is sometimes required. Mipony has compiled a list of passwords for extracting files that grows automatically with successfully used passwords. If none of the stored passwords works, Mipony will request one. After requesting a password from the user, Mipony tests all the passwords on the list, so if you download a lot of files that have the same password, Mipony will only request it the first time.
