Hi all,
I currently use kget to download files, but find it lacks a lot of features, like bandwidth throttling, auto-resume when internet disconnects & reconnects, download from multiple locations, browser integration, etc.
FreeDownloadManager for Windows does all of the above quite well, but I don't use Windows @ home. So, does anyone know of a good alternative to use? I have searched the yum repositories, but don't see anything.

I use "DownThemAll" which is a firefox extension.

I've used "Downloader for X" (a.k.a. "D4X") in the past and found it to be pretty good. However, just this morning when I went to look for it I found its homepage seems to no longer exist, though there are a number of places from which it can still be downloaded.

Thanx, I'll give it a try and see how it works.

Thanx Ralph, I already use DownTemAll, but it doesn't work as well, since FF needs to stay open, which is probably not a big thing. But I prefer to use something independent of a web browser.
