Users can easily add new downloads either through the right-click context menu using the "Download with Accelerator" option or via the toolbar popup interface. The extension offers customizable thread settings, defaulting to 3 but supporting up to 5 simultaneous threads, with plans for increasing this limit in future updates. Its intuitive UI and effective acceleration make managing downloads seamless and reliable.
