README
# Motrix WebExtension
This WebExtension allows you to automatically download all the files via [Motrix Download Manager](https://motrix.app/) instead of your browser's native download manager.
You must download and install the Motrix download manager first to use this extension: [Releases](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/releases/latest)
## How to use
1. Open the Motrix download manager installed on your computer, and go to `Preferences > Advanced > Security > RPC secret` and create a random secret key and copy it.
There is also an option to update the RPC Listen Port, you dont have to do it. If you are updating it please make sure that you set it to the extension using the set port option in the extension.
2. Go to chrome extensions, go to Motrix WebExtension settings, paste the key and click on "SET KEY" button.
You are ready to go!
Note: **You should keep Motrix always running in the background for this extension to work. We cant launch motrix programmatically.**
