# Downloading Archives

Starting with version 0.7.3, LANraragi can directly download URLs to its content folder.\
This allows you to seamlessly add archives from the Internet to your LRR instance for safekeeping.

By default, we will try to download any URL you chuck at us! This will mostly work for simple URLs that point directly to a file we support.\
(For example, something like this very nice Quake booklet: `https://archive.org/download/quake-essays-sep-15-fin-4-graco-l-cl/QUAKE_essays_SEP15_FIN4_GRACoL_CL.pdf` will download without a fuss.)

{% hint style="info" %}
Downloaded archives will automatically get a `source:` tag with the URL they were downloaded from.\
Said source tags can often be used with compatible Metadata plugins to fetch metadata precisely. (Supported by E-H and nH)
{% endhint %}

For non-direct links, you will need to have a matching **Downloader Plugin** configured.\
LANraragi currently ships with Downloaders handling E-H and Chaika links.

{% hint style="info" %}
Just like with Metadata plugins, Downloaders might require using a matching **Login Plugin** to authenticate to the remote website.
{% endhint %}

## Browser Extension

You can also install the [Tsukihi Browser Extension](https://github.com/Difegue/Tsukihi) to automatically verify/download URLs you browse to your server instance.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://sugoi.gitbook.io/lanraragi/advanced-usage/downloading.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
