Download Manager For Linux

[~*McoreD*~]

This thread is to ask and suggest various software to use under Linux for. No questions atm. But anyone have one? You are welcome

Okay, I am looking for a good download mananger (like FlashGet to Windows) that could pause and resume downloading files. Can anybody please suggest me a good application and a location.

I understand something like: if you give a person some fish, it ends after he eat it. But if you give him a fishing rod, he will fish himself.
The proper saying is this :Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime

I believe KGet is what you're looking for.

Caitoo ( formerly known as KGet ) is a download manager similar to GetRight or Go!zilla.
It keeps all your downloads in one dialog and you can add and remove transfers. Transfers can be paused, resumed, queued or scheduled.
Dialogs display info about status of transfers - progress, size, speed and remaining time.
Program supports drag & drop from KDE applications and Netscape.
