Downloading Packages

Note: Ensure that IBM Aspera Cargo is running in order to download packages. If you EXIT, Cargo no longer retrieves packages. However, you can still log into your IBM Aspera Faspex to download them manually from the web.

You can view and manage all package transfer sessions within the Transfers dialog.

  1. To open the Transfers dialog, launch Cargo by navigating to the Start Menu > All Programs > Aspera > Cargo Downloader.
  2. Right-click the Aspera Cargo Downloader icon in the notification area on the task bar, and select Tranfers.
    The Transfers dialog contains the following items:
    Field Value
    Open the Transfer Monitor. For information on using the Transfer Monitor to control transfer speed, see Monitoring Transfers.
    Display the file on your computer.
    Stop the transfer session.
    Resume the paused, queued, or canceled transfer.
    Retry a failed transfer or manually start a queued transfer.
    Note: If Cargo retrieves encrypted packages, you can decrypt them using the application Aspera Crypt. For additional information, see Decrypting Packages.

    When the queuing option is enabled, your settings determine the number of permitted concurrent transfers. Additional transfers are queued in the Transfers dialog and initiated when a transfer is finished. You can manually start a queued transfer by clicking . Your most recent transfer is downloading at the top of the list. For more information on queueing, see Configuring General Preferences.

    Note: Each time Cargo performs a check on your Faspex, it only reads up to 250 of the latest packages (or last seen packages) for potential download. Packages older than the 250 latest are not detected.
