I was looking at Open Zeus 11, and I wanted to download it, but it was like four gigabytes and I didn’t want to use Firefox to download it because, you know Firefox it might crash or stupid flash, it might not work and I have to close it off and I didn’t want to disturb my downloading.
So I download this—when I installed this program it’s called Gwget, it’s a download manager for the backend Wget. Wget is usually used in the terminal, you know when you go sort of install something, that’s basically using Wget, so this is the frontend of it.
And they have few options in here, you go let’s see. To—download something, just click new and then paste in the URL that you want to download. So this is an ISO I just have to paste it in and that was it. And let’s see what they have in here, you can cap your speed here to. Like if you have a, you know, you want to surf and then download at the same time without lag time. You would want to limit your download speed, and how many files you want to download at the same time and stuff like that. So you get the idea of what it does, and for the columns here it let’s you display what you want to look at. Like you want to see percentage and—or you want to take it off, percentage is gone. It’ll tell you the download speed because I enabled that download speed.
So yeah this is a pretty simple front end for a Wget. Wget is built into the terminal when you install everything so that thing is pretty reliable. So yeah check it out, if you need a download manager, that’s it.
