d4x (Downloader for X). It's on your CD's, or you can get it from any Mandrake mirror. I don't know what you mean by 'channels' (multiple sites?), but yes, simultaneous d/l's are easy to do (if the site allows it) and from differnet sites. Supports drag'n drop. d4x-2.4.1-2mdk.i586.rpm is the latest.Hi, I use Flashget in XP to down load - 3 similtanious at 5 channels each.
Would there be something similar in linux I could use with same
results? I would really like to do this inMDK 92.
Appreciate some pointers
Thanks

Multiple channels: when you split a single download in 2 o more chunks and start downloading them simultaneously, building them together when all are done.
Supposedly it can accelerate your downloads, mainly when download sites give you a bandwidth quota. Some sites consider this an abusive practice.

In practicle reallity, and over some time, I have proved to my own
satisfaction
that it does nothing for you. It's an illusion. Looks clever and swish
but actually
does nothing to accellerate the download. Having said that mine is a 56k
dial-up
modem, so the possibilty of getting the most out of such a facility is
minimal.I'm
restricted to the minimal band width the ISP allows me, never more than
4kb/sec,
and usually far below that.
