The Downloads page

Downloads is your control room for everything being installed: live progress on what's running, and a history of what's done.

Most of the time you install one translation and never think about this page. But the moment you start a few, or a download misbehaves on hotel Wi-Fi, Downloads is where you take control. It's a download manager purpose-built for translations: everything unfinished in one list, everything done in another, and a live speed graph over both. It all survives restarts too; half-finished downloads resume where they left off instead of starting over.

An active download: what's downloading, how far along it is, the current speed, the time remaining, and pause and cancel controls on the right.

The two sections

The page keeps one list of everything unfinished and one list of everything done. There's no separate "up next" queue, because there was never anything in it: a paid plan starts everything at once so nothing waits, and a free plan runs exactly one at a time, so the waiting item is right there in the same list.

WhereWhat it does
In progressEverything not finished yet: downloading, paused, failed, or waiting for a slot on a free plan. Each row carries its own progress bar, transferred size, live speed, and per-item buttons.
CompletedA history of finished installs with their size and date. Clear history empties the list, and it never uninstalls anything; the translations stay on your games.

The list draining. When the running item finishes it drops into Completed and the next one takes over on its own, so nothing needs a nudge from you.

What each state looks like

A row tells you its state twice, once in the tag and once in the buttons it offers, so you never have to guess which one you're looking at.

The four states a row can be in. A failed download is the only one that needs a decision, and retrying costs nothing because a half-download is never applied to the game.

The activity panel

At the top of the page, a live graph shows your combined download speed over the last stretch of time, alongside how many items are downloading, how many are queued, and how much data is still owed. If you're wondering whether Tranzio is why a video call is stuttering, this graph answers it, and Pause all sits in the header right above it.

Network activity. The graph scrolls as the numbers come in, so a rate that has collapsed to a flat line is visible without reading a single figure.

Controls

ControlWhat it does
Pause allIn the page header, and only while something is actually running or waiting. Stops everything at once; paused downloads keep their progress indefinitely.
Resume allAppears on the In progress heading once something is paused or has failed. Starts the lot again.
Pause and play on a rowThe same thing for one item. Pausing a big pack to finish a work call, then resuming it, loses nothing.
Retry on a failed rowStarts that download again from where it stopped. Failures are usually the network, not the pack.
The on any rowCancel a download or drop it from the list. Cancelling mid-download leaves the game exactly as it was, because a patch is only applied once every file has arrived.
Clear historyOn the Completed heading. Empties the list only; your installed translations are untouched.

Downloading several translations at the same time is a Pro feature, and the line under the page title tells you where you stand: a free account reads "one at a time", a paid one names how many it will run at once. Everything else on this page behaves identically either way. See Subscription & Premium.

Downloads land as a pending install and apply to the game as a final step. If a download finishes but the game still shows its original language, check Troubleshooting for the two most common reasons.
