GOGOBOX Tutorial!
Something I promised Elf I would post here :D
Just a word of warning though, this step-by-step kind of thing is probably something among the Things I Fail At Most (As In At A Degree On Par With Sho), though I've screencapped and broken things down the best I can
Please let me know if there are things I missed out, or if something is too confusing, or if you'd like to know more about something, and I'll add it here (:

Part 3: How to download from a GOGOBOX
For this tutorial, I’ll be downloading from 5c’s Gogobox (http://gogobox.com.tw/5c)
You should see something like this when you scroll down.
The layout is basically (colours is what I outlined them in on the cap)
Step 1: To download a file (or files), tick the box (or boxes) next to the file.
Step 2: Click the download button (circled in pink above)
Step 3: A confirmation window should pop up listing the files you’ve chosen to download
Step 6: Your Gogobox software should now have the files you chose in the download queue.
Click the big blue button (開始下载) (outlined in red below) to begin downloading.
FAQs:
1. Why can’t I see any files in the GOGOBOX?
Well, the Gogobox could be empty, but chances are, the box was made members-only, so in order to see the files, you’ll have to join the box. If you aren’t a member, you’ll see that your status (outlined in the red box) is 客人 (guest). So to join, make sure you’re logged in, then
Step 1: Click the button ‘加入BOX’ (circled in pink).
Step 2: This window should pop up confirming that you’ve joined.
Step 3: Click the blue button at the bottom to close the window.
You should be able to see the files now!
2. How do I change my download settings?
The tabs at the top of your GOGOBOX software are
1: Download, 2: Upload, 3: Settings, 4: Mileage, 5: Privacy Policy
Step 1: Go to the third tab (設定)
Step 2: Change the download destination in the box (outlined in red above)
Step 3: Save your settings by clicking the button below (circled in pink above)
3. How do I use high-speed download?
When you leave GOGOBOX running, or even minimized in your toolbar, as long as you’re signed in, you will earn 10 mileage points for every hour you keep it open. When you’ve accumulated 3000 points, you may exchange it for 2GB worth of high-speed download.
However, the maximum you can accumulate is 3000 as well, meaning that even if you leave it running, as long as you’ve hit the 3000 maximum, your points will simply remain at the 3000 cap.
4. How do I check the amount of mileage I’ve accumulated?
The fourth tab in the GOGOBOX software (哩程数) shows that the mileage is clocking, but doesn’t show the total accumulated. To check,
Step 1: Go to http://www.gogobox.com.tw
Step 2: Log-in on the left if you haven’t. If you have, you will see your account details. In your account details, you’ll be able to see the total amount of mileage points you have accredited to your account (boxed in red).
(Note: The mileage updates daily between 3-4a.m., so it won’t help if you check back every hour)
5. How do I exchange mileage points for high-speed download quota?
Step 1: Do Steps 1 and 2 in FAQuestion 4.
Step 2: Click on the amount of mileage you’ve accumulated. (the number)
Step 3: You should be directed to this window.
As you can see, I have accumulated 3000 points, so I’m eligible to exchange them for 2GB worth of download. (FYI: The 5GB and 10GB exchanges are only for premium members, who must be registered with a local (i.e. Taiwan etc) mobile number)
To exchange, click the button at the 2GB exchange (outlined in red).
The points should be deducted from your mileage amount.
To start downloading a file in high-speed, download as usual, but instead of clicking the second white download button in the download confirmation pop-up, click the bright orange one instead.
Just a word of warning though, this step-by-step kind of thing is probably something among the Things I Fail At Most (As In At A Degree On Par With Sho), though I've screencapped and broken things down the best I can
Please let me know if there are things I missed out, or if something is too confusing, or if you'd like to know more about something, and I'll add it here (:

- Here we have two download buttons: High-speed download (orange button) or normal download (white, second button to the left).

- Do not close the window because it is sending the information to the download software.
Step 6: Your Gogobox software should now have the files you chose in the download queue.
