1. Using the Search TCIA page from a web browser (preferably not Safari), add the set of series that you desire to download to your shopping cart,  See TCIA's User Guide for instructions.
2. Click on the "Manage Data Basket" menu item to bring up the "My Data Basket" page.
3. Click on the "Download Manager" link above the table of series.
4. Depending on which browser you are using, the browser may ask if you wish to open/run or save the customized JNLP file for launching the download manager.
   1. If you have enable any application to run, not just applications from the Apple Store or signed with an Apple Developer ID (see step 3 in Prerequisites), then click open/run, and skip to step 6.
   2. Otherwise save the JNLP file to a known location (e.g. the downloads folder), and then open a Finder window to that location.
5. Command/Control/Right/Two-Finger click the JNLP file just saved to bring up a context sensitive menu. Click on the "Open" option of that menu.  (Do not simply double click on the file.  That will fail if your system is configured to only run applications from the Apple Store, or signed by an Apple Developer ID.  You must explicitly open the file from the context sensitive menu to bypass the Gatekeeper restriction.)
6. Opening/running the JNLP file will trigger a pop-up warning from Mac OS X, questioning whether or not you really wish to run an outside application.  Click OK/Yes to launch the Download Manager.
7. Java Web Start should then pull the Download Manager software and libraries from TCIA's servers, validate its code signatureverify their Java code signatures, and present a pop-up again asking for confirmation that you wish to run the Download Manager application.  
   1. (Optional) if you wish to reduce the occurance of this pop-up, please check the "Do not show again..." box.
   2. Click "Run" to start the Download Manager application.
8. By default, the Download Manager will place the downloaded directory tree in the tmp folder.  To choose a different location, either type in the path for the folder into the box at the top of the page labelled "Select Direcctory Directory For Downloaded Files", or click on the "Browse" button next to that box.  
   1. You can navigate through your local directory tree by using a combination of selection from the drop down box at the top of the "Select Directory" window to go up the tree, or double clicking on a folder to go down the tree.
   2. If you wish to create a new folder to hold the downloaded files, please create it using the Mac's Finder or similar application first, and then navigate to the new folder using the Download Manager's "Select Directory" window.
   3. When you have found the desired destination folder, single click that folder, and then click "Choose" (or "Open"), which should fill in the path to that folder in the box at the top of the Download Manager window.
9. Click the "Start" button to begin the download.
