Could u point to me a good download mangager ????

Back when I used Mandrake 8.2, there was a program I downloaded in rpm form from texstar called aria. It's a really nice download manager. Unfortunately it isn't there no more, but you can download it from http://aria.rednoah.com

Of course, for command line users, wget is THE program

d4x (downloader4X) also referred to as nt. /usr/bin/nt Has never failed. Not one corrupt/bad rpm, src,tarball, anything.ftp://mandrake.redbox.cz/Mandrake-devel/c...Mandrake/RPMS2/

wget -c

that does it for me

wget is especially useful in downloading web pages with its links, e.g. online books or tutorials. just type:

wget --recursive --noparent http://server.domain/dir/page.html

to download page.html and all pages that link from it, but only under /dir directory. Very useful

a good alternative for wget for the ftp protocol is lftp.

Also, there's caitoo as an alternative for d4x but as far as I know it hasn't been updated for a while (?).

For ftp i am very happy with gftp.

It "remembers" adresses and continues files, that where broken.
And fast, too.

In KDE 3.1, there would be KGet. Pretty good download manager, the only thing I miss in it is better integration with Konqueror, something along the lines of Mozilla download manager.

Sometimes I use Prozilla.

Yeah Downloader for X kicks ass:

Try d4x ver 2.03 rpm for Mandrake, it's the latest stable version.

talking about download manager, is there any way they act like getright.
when a file is to be downloaded, it appears and takes care of everything
:?:

Do you mean, config the browser to use the downloader? Yes. How?.. not sure, because I use the browsers downloader for small stuff and d4x for the big, by drag and drop.

For those of you who try the d4x download, after installing, the command for executing the app is

nt
