WinPcap is a tool used by DownloadStudio to find the hard-to-get urls that websites try to hide from you. It is used in the DownloadStudio URL Sniffer tool in DownloadStudio. The rest of DownloadStudio will function as normal.

To read more about WinPcap please visit the WinPcap web site FAQ's.

Do I have to install it?

You do not have to install it, when DownloadStudio is installing you can cancel the WinPcap part of the installation. Alternatively you can uninstall WinPcap at any time.

If you do not install WinPcap you will not be able to use DownloadStudio URL Sniffer.
