there is a downloader manager program in kde and many would be familiar with it with many advanced features.i am using kdenetwork-kget for downloading and have downloaded files as big as 700 mbs with it. but the only problem is that it works only with konqueror browser and not with other browesrs.
Arre nahi!
I use kget without konqueror(I prefer Firefox). In KDE just execute the command "kget". You would see a window opening in which you can paste your URLs and they will be downloaded as you want.
The best thing about kget is that if you minimize it, it appears in the system tray. So whenever, you want to download a link, copy the URL into clipboard from Firebird(or any other browser), click the kget icon in the tray, and in the kget window which appears, simply paste the URL!
kget uses KDE's session management, and thus if you shutdown/logoff from KDE when kget in running, it is automatically restarted for you when you log back in! So there you are - you have got a download manager always available in the tray!
If there are multiple downloads happening, you can double click a download in the Kget window. You will get a separate dialog for that particular download. You can minimize this to have a progress indicator for that download right in the tray itself, just like individual getright download windows.
And yes, I frequently download big files (> 100MB) using kget. It supports resuming, scheduling etc. The only thing which it doesnt support is multi-part downloads.
