For those of you who don't know gtm (GNOME Transfer Manager), gtm is capable of downloading files from the network using FTP and HTTP protocols. The program is also capable of continuing the downloads and accepts drag and drop of URL from netscape. You can dnd to the program or to the applet (applet dnd is very usefull if you have a small monitor). You can even dnd from gmc and gftp (need at least gftp version 2.0.5a). This means more than one URL at a time. And now there is galeon (http://galeon.sourceforge.net/) which uses GTM to do the transfers. It's the first client I saw (beside the gtm_applet in gtm distribution) to communicate with GTM throught CORBA. If you want to know more visit gtm page http://gtm.sourceforge.net/ You can download the source code, RPM (RedHat 6.x) or SRPM. http://download.sourceforge.net/gtm/gtm-0.4.5.tar.gz http://download.sourceforge.net/gtm/gtm-0.4.5-1.i386.rpm http://download.sourceforge.net/gtm/gtm-0.4.5-1.src.rpm Changes since version last version (0.4.4): * New dialog box with list statistics thanks to Ross Arnold * The application doesn't crash while starting up because the CORBA bug was causing this * Fixed a CORBA bug making the applet crash when a URL was dropped or added from the dialog box. Or crash with option -g * List order is now saved thanks thanks to Ross Arnold for the fix * Better networking detection and also works on NetBSD. Thanks to Ian Campbell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and Mario Kemper <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (the last one made it work on NetBSD) * The gtm_applet saves a default properties to be used when it doesn't have session properties to use. * Now it is possible to disable the selection of the download dir on the applet dialog boxes. Using this the gtm regexp or the default are used instead. * Fixed the problem making the total size reducing everytime a download was continued (The stats went crazy because of this). * Now it's possible to change the button click event of the applet (thanks to Ross Arnold (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). * Ross Arnold (<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>) added regular expressions based on the download URL to select the download dir. * Applet correctly transparent now (thanks to Ross Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). * Changed the confirm remove to confirm remove for incomplete files and confirm remove complete files (thanks to Ross Arnold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). * The proxy options can be set even if the global proxy is not used. This is needed because the user might activate the proxy later and wants to be sure the proxy options are correct. * From the toolbar you can toggle the disable auto download option for selected files. * From the download info page it is possible to enable/disable auto download or proxy usage. * Nailed the bug making the progress stop working for files dropped on the applet.
