> Please note that this is my leisure time project. Even though I will continue development and bug fixes, Windows is not my targeted operating system. Even for the first release, I installed the trial version of Windows in Virtual Box and created the setup file. Therefore there may be delays in releasing the bug fixes and new features to Windows users.
To see how to install, visit the [installation guide](https://slgobinath.github.io/uget-chrome-wrapper/#installation) and click on your operating system.

## Usage
Simply click on any downloadable links to download the file. 'uGet new Download' dialog will appear and continue the download.

To disable uGet from interrupting your download, press <kbd>Insert</kbd> key and click on the link.
