FDM 3.9.6 (1559). When I add a new download, it puts to the queue, but does not start download. I have to press "Start all downloads" button.
How can I set to start them automatically?

There is an option "Start automatically" in "Add download" dialog window. Open main FDM window, press Ctrl+N - it's in the left bottom corner.

Thank you! But how can i manually schedule CURRENT download? For example: I have one active download and I want next added download to be scheduled and when first one is done, second will start its activity?

Scheduling is not the same as starting automatically. Both you can find in the context menu. Just open the main FDM window, right click the download on the list and select proper option from the context menu.

And you are asking about queueing, not scheduling. Queue is organized when you limit number of connections and/or number of sections per server:
- globally - in FDM options for networking;
- for some sites only - using SIte Manager;
- for currently active downloads - limiting number of connections to 1 and changing traffic usage mode from heavy to medium or light (as defined in networking settings).

You should create a new download group. Right click "All downloads" in the group list...
Do try to find and test more features on your own, don't be afraid.

I have another question about FDM.
I press link with .torrent file. Is there a way "to tell" FDM, download this file and then open it to download file, this torrent file links to?

I don't know how to press a link. I can press a key, click a link with mouse, touchpad or other pointing device, push a button on a touch screen...

You should either turn on bittorrent support when installing FDM or associate .torrent extension with FDM from FDM options - open FDM menu Options | Settings | Download | Bittorrent and mark "Associate with torrent files" option. Note that Administrator rights are required for this action.

Could you stop asking about things that you can easy find yourself, please?

The LITE version of 3.9.6 says: "Invalid installation: installed Bittorrent module can't be used with this version of FDM"
What is wrong???

Where did you get Bittorrent module? FDM lite comes with NO torrent support.
