Dear User!

In the Snail mode, all downloads use the minimum speed required to maintain a connection with the server.
It's useful in following cases:

1) If you want to add a download but download them later.

2) There are several active downloads, which together use all the available Internet speed and you want to watch a video online. You can use the Snail mode to reduce the speed of the downloading to watch videos online.

In order not to change the speed by configuring settings, you can switch on the Snail mode with a single click, and FDM will reduce the speed to the minimum. Then, to resume the download speed, you can just turn off the Snail mode, and the downloading speed will be restored.

Regards,
Clive
