Why is the Start Transfer button greyed out?
Short answer: It stays greyed out until both fields are filled in and, for a link, the link is a valid http:// or https:// address pointing at a file rather than a folder. A warning under the field says what's wrong.
Start Transfer stays greyed out until the transfer can run. Check that:
- both Source (or Link) and Destination (or Save to folder) are filled in;
- for Download, the link starts with http:// or https:// and points at a file, not a folder — a warning under the field tells you which;
- a pasted link in another mode isn't one that ends at a folder.
Once both fields are valid, the button becomes active and Return starts it too.
