downloadStarter

The downloadStarter script is loading the python environment for the download. It will try to initialize the provided downloader. If the instance of the actual downloader cannot be created, the script will return. If the instantiation is successful, the script will loop over the program and call the handlers for Program, OperationGroup and Operation.

The script is part of the FASTSUITE Edition 2 installation and may not be modified.
