Flashget is able to get u that much speed, cos of the multithreaded download of the same file (it downloads different parts of the same file and reassembles them at the client end). Wget or kget download on a single thread which limits the speed.
People were discussing something similar over the last few threads, try Prozilla (http://freshmeat.net/projects/prozilla/) (and it should be Kilo Bytes/sec) -js $-----Original Message----- $From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] $] On Behalf Of shshank jain $Sent: Friday, February 27, 2004 4:07 PM $To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $Subject: Re: [ilugd] Re: Download Accelerator $ $ $ $hii $tradionally i have done all the dowloading using flashget in $windows which really boosts my download speed . i have noticed $the same files which wget downloads for 1.67 Kb/sec being $downloaded at 5-6 Kb/sec under flashget in windows..
