"Downloader for X" version 2 is a download manager ;-) To answer Miark's question, I would say it depends on what program it is, and more importantly how good it is. A lot of people like Downloader for X, however others find it an overrated huge program, when in actual fact downloading something shouldn't require a huge program. I personally use ProZilla/ProzGUI because they are much simpler/smaller, and in my experience much faster. You could always create your own RPM's and uplad them to the Mandrake Contrib ftp site, then maybe they will be included (I didn't know they weren't already) ;-) Greetings Ralph -- Homepage: http://tuxpower.f2g.net/
