The toolbar gives you 4 different options: URL, Build URL, Browse Folder and Settings.
In the URL option, all you have to do is enter the URL from which you would like to download the files, once you have entered the URL, click on the "Get" button, and Leecher will display the list of available files in that URL, you can then select which ones you want to download (by clicking on the download checkbox), or you can remove them from the list, by selecting the desired files and the hitting the delete key. You can also select multiple files and toggle their download checkbox by pressing the spacebar.

Once the files have finished downloading, you can remove the ones you don't want (by selecting them and then hitting the delete key), you can view their contents, or you can save all the files to a specified location, by clicking on the save button on the toolbar.
In the Build URL option, the interface is slightly different from the URL option, you now have two extra fields, to specify the numeric sequence of the URL you want to build, besides the "base" url:
click to enlarge
You can now enter a "base" url, from which the full URL will be built, this base url will require a placeholder for the numeric sequence, this is done by adding "[##]" to the url, the placeholder will be replaced with the numeric sequence, the number of # specify the number of leading zeros, so if your images range from 001 to 100, you will need to specify [###] as placeholder, since the lowest number (1) will have two leading zeros, however, if your sequence does not have leading zeros you can specify [#] as the placeholder. See the screenshot for an example.
After you're done with your download list, just click on the download button to start the download.
You can browse any folder on your hard drive, Leecher will show previews of image files and movies (as long as is a format supported by Quicktime), once you select the browse option you will be asked to choose a folder, you can also drag a folder on the appication icon to browse its contents.
Once you have selected a folder, the browser window will appear:
