Click `Open` button to choose where to save the downloaded files. Click `Show` button will open the directory where you set.



Fill the `Query` and click `Rampage` button, then it will search and download the file. Currently, you can fill the query with `URL`, `PMID`, `DOI` or title.



Range pattern in query is supported, e.g. `00.000/{1-99}` will download `00.000/1`, `00.000/2`, ... `00.000/99`. Zero padded format range pattern is allowed, e.g. `00.000/{01-99}` will download `00.000/01`, `00.000/02`, ... `00.000/99`.



Also you can download with a query list file, in which each line represents a query. Click `Load` button to load the query list file.
