Then, when adding a new download, you'll be able to set uGet to use multiple connections per server from the "New download" dialog box.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Tip: like I was saying above, if you install uGet from its official PPA, you'll notice that it uses an Ubuntu AppIndicator by default but if you don't want this - for instance if you're using GNOME Shell -, you can disable it so uGet uses a tray icon, by using the following command:</div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sed -i "s/AppIndicator value='1'/AppIndicator value='0'/g" ~/.config/uGet/Setting.xml</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For other Linux distributions (source files and RPM available) and Windows, see the uGet <a href="http://uget.visuex.com/downloads">downloads page</a>.</b></div>

If aria2 is not working with uGet, run "aria2c --enable-rpc=true" in a terminal firstly or "aria2c --enable-rpc=true --disable-ipv6=true".<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">3.
