What is the Transfer Manager?

The Transfer Manager shows the status of in progress, completed, and aborted transfers of data between your computer and GuitarPort Online.

Download progress activity shows at the bottom right of the GearBox program’s window. Click there to open the Transfer Manager window which shows details of transfers, like this:

In the example display above, the Transfer Manager shows that downloading of the “12 Bar Jam - No Lead” track was aborted, “67-70 Groove - Drums Only” will be downloaded and automatically loaded once the items currently downloading have been completed, “Back In Black Solo” was downloaded successfully and “12-8 Blues - No Lead” is currently being downloaded, won’t be automatically loaded, and is 405K of 4716K—which works out to be 9%—complete. The Retry button can be clicked to retry a download on the currently selected item. In this case, that would be “12 Bar Jam - No Lead”.

Once you have downloaded a Tone, Track, or other item, you can often reload it into GearBox simply by selecting it in the Transfer Manager and pressing Load. This can be especially useful for some online lessons if you wish to use Half Speed on sound bytes, or if you did not have items auto-load after downloading. Automatic saving and loading may be configured by selecting the GearBox Preferences, then choosing the General tab.

Selecting a transfer and pressing the Abort button will abort the transfer. It may take a few seconds to finish aborting, as it tries to politely disconnect from the server. You can clear all inactive transfers - transfers that are not currently downloading - by pressing Clear Inactive.
