The next thing you have to do is to set set the destination directories for each poker room you subscribed to. In this tutorial we're using e.g. PartyPoker and iPoker hand histories. Click on button the Search button in every poker room section.


Select the destination directory you want to use for that particular poker room. For example C:\handhistory\party.

If you want to automaticaly uncompress files after download, check this option. Otherwise you have to uncompress the files manualy after the download is complete.


Repeat previous step for all other poker rooms you are subscribed to.
