It connects too my NAS. I can choose the destination folder... Then or stays on waiting. Calculating.
Developer Response
Hi FlowingColor, if your task is stuck on "waiting" or "calculating", it would mean the URL used while downloading is not having enough peers to connect to. Please contact me if you have any other issues on dsdownload@appsley.nl. Giving a one star review without contacting me or giving me the chance to help you, is not really nice.
New languages! DS Download now speaks Spanish and Simplified Chinese, joining English, Dutch, German, French, Danish, and Polish.
