The dashboard displays engine status, speed, lane and progress. The + button adds links; Queue tracks downloads; Packages groups files; Files opens completed files and Logs helps with diagnosis.

To add a legally accessible download, click +, paste the link, choose the destination package and folder, then validate. A pause, fail, or challenge icon indicates that action is required.

Settings and hosting accounts

In Settings, the Accounts and Plugins sections are used to add a hosting account and set extensions. Never provide premium account credentials and only activate useful plugins. Download settings control folder, concurrent downloads, and speed limits, among other things.

Changing the pyLoad web account does not change the identifiers of other Seedbox services.
