KGET is very reliable and efficient. I have downloaded over 60 distros with that. On some distros kget may crash sometimes, but even then it will never fail to resume. Suppose you have a incomplete download somewhere, then kget can be used to complete it too. WGET is better suited for more advanced tasks like pulling things a few levels down. I don't know about gwget, but d4x did appear quite unstable. 'downthemall' is not a well designed plug in...it does get into all kinds of problems. Best A. Mani -- A. Mani Member, Cal. Math.
