ADVANCED FEATURES
Geek out with other cool features in DownloadsPlus:
  • Auto Resolve - An advanced feature of the Support system.  Auto-Resolve is a setting to automatically close a ticket in X days if no response.  For example, if you have a support ticket where the last response is from the downloader and X days have transpired, the ticket is automatically marked as "Closed."  If you have a support ticket where the last response is from the uploader and X days have transpired, the ticket is automatically marked as "No Response."
  • Statuses - An advanced feature of the Support system.  Statuses can be customized to provide a built-in tracker for issues.
