Hi,

I need a download manager for my OpenSUSE 11.2. Do you have any recommendation? :slight_smile:

Thanks

If you’re using KDE then kget otherwise I like the Firefox plugin DownThemAll

wget is a very good an powerful download manager for konsole.

If you are wanting to use the download manager from firefox, then as lOtz1009 says, DownThemAll or FlashGot firefox plugins work well.
FlashGot works as a front end for wget allows you to choose whether you want to use wget or some other method.

Thanks for your quick reply. But there is one more thing I need to know. Can they resume the paused dowload?

#6

If you are using the firefox plugin, yes.
wget will resume if you explicitly tell it to.
Open a terminal and type wget --h to get all the options.
(If it’s not installed, install it - it’s in the repo.)

Ok, thanks for your information. I will try it first.

I often use ‘prozgui’ . Its a download accelerator, although I use it more for its enhanced checksum implementation (and hence higher quality downloads) than I do for any acceleration function.

FatRat does a good job once you have integrated it with flashgot in firefox.FatRat supports even rapidshare :slight_smile:

Well, I have used KGet and it works well so far. Thanks for your information. :slight_smile:
