Alt key usage

A real newb here, I cannot prevent EagleGet to jump in when I want to d/l.
Running on W7 Pro 64-bit and using the portable v1.0.9.1 of EagleGet.
During the 1st run I allowed all requests, i.e. firewall, anti-virus, WinPatrol, etc.
I then applied install.bat for IE integration, I'm using IE8.
Not using a proxy and under Monitoring I "Enabled Browser Monitoring" plus "Pause browser monitoring by pressing ALT key".

Now this is where I'm confused, before I d/l a very small zipped file I hold down the ALT key before I select the d/l but still EagleGet starts up and I get the usual pop-up window "New Download". I can hit Cancel, close out of EagelGet in the Taskbar, repeat the attempt to d/l but once more EagleGet jumps in?

How do I prevent EagleGet from jumping into the d/l action?

Any suggestions or tips most welcome.
For the rest EagleGet is running perfectly.

Thanks John but the portable version has not been updated yet, it is still 1.0.9.1?
I can extract all the files from the latest install version's exe but I'm sure it is not that simple by just replacing the older with the newer files?

Re: Alt key usage

kosie, there is a newer version today - 1.1.0.0Stable, here.  I am sorry but I cannot answer your questions about the portable version. I don't think a newer one has been released and I know there have been some questions.  The developers will need to respond.  Have you tried disabling the EG ActiveX?  Thanks and enjoy, John.
