Another tool is axel it breaks files into multiple pieces and downloads pieces
simultaneously then puts back together on yiur system. Not good to use on small
sites but finr on sites like sourc4f9rge.net.Sent from my Galaxy

standard text mode tools for this are wget and curl. Even GUI users often use
these as they are resilient against connection failures. They may need some
work to transfer cookies from the HTML part of the site, if the resources are
protected by cookie based logins, but they are still the right tools for large
files which can't be directly rendered. (They are command line tools, not even
character cell ones.)
