can locate mirror copies elsewhere on the internet and download from multiple sites simultaneously

That's what I liked about DAP. It makes it incredibly fast. I think Leechget might be doing this, but not as visibly as DAP did. DAP listed all the servers it was downloading from in the download window.

How do I make Leechget the default downloader? I've basically just installed the program, and not changed any settings. I then tried to download something from Cnet and the IE downloader grabbed it. Is there a way to make Leechget my default without having it open (so I don't have that annoying icon up there?

And why did the programers put that there? if it's freeware and ad free, what's the point of having it there? I don't mind having the program running in the system tray, but this is just annoying.
