If you use API-connected programs such as the Hydrus Companion, then any non-watchable URLs sent to Hydrus through them will end up in an URL downloader page, the specifics depending on the program's settings.

The button next to the input field lets you paste multiple URLs at once such as if you've copied from a document or browser bookmarks. from your web browser) will also spawn and use this downloader. Dragging and dropping recognisable URLs onto the client (e.g. You can paste downloadable URLs to it, and it will work through them as one list.

There are a number of different downloader types, each with its own purpose: URL download Intended for single posts or images.

Remember that you can pause your import queues, if you need to calm things down a bit. I also recommend you try to keep your total loaded files/urls to be under 20,000 to keep things snappy. Keep it in mind, and you'll figure out what your computer is happy with. You'll usually never notice this with just one hard drive import going, but if you have twenty different download queues all competing for database access and individual 0.1-second hits of heavy CPU work, you will discover your client starts to judder and lag. It also takes a decent whack of CPU to import a file.

If you can realistically only archive/delete filter 50 files a day, there is little benefit to downloading 500 new files a day. Figure out what workflows work for you, how fast you process files, what content you actually want, how much bandwidth and hard drive space you have, and prioritise and throttle your incoming downloads to match. Many users get overexcited with their new ability to download 500,000 files and then do so, only discovering later that 98% of what they got was junk that they now have to wade through.

It is very important that you take this slow.
