I can download etc ok but when I have to disconnect I find that when I re connect everythin g has disappeared. How can I shut down and when I reconnect the downloads continue from where they left off.
Also I use the black screen which allows me to increase the downloads from 3 and at reconnect it reverts to the green screen and altghough now blank gives me a default download number of 3 despite me trying to increase it.

i guess you will have to put more effort into spelling out
your operational problems. of your post i understood
about 25% and another 5% through guess work.
using whatever "skin" or "theme" should make no
difference re: number of automatic downloads.

you can adjust downloads, sharing, uploads, automatic
shutdown, etc. under

tools/options

i suggest you
play around with that and come back for more questions
