Re: Download managers?
lftp is actually really good, it supports http/https too! You can download something, hit ^Z (it will background the download) and keep browsing, download something else, hit ^Z again, etc.. to download multiple files. If you accidently close your xterm when downloading, lftp will move your current downloads to the background and finish them for you! It rocks! Aq.

I heard very good things about snarf(??) in a magazine.

Earlier versions of wget (don't know the precise ones) had the nasty (default) habit of overwriting completed downloads. And you really didn't know if the download had been completed simply by looking at the file. Read the help! An -nc (no clobber) will probably save you the grief of seeing your megabytes gone to naught. In contrast pavuk (available in testing and/or unstable) creates a .in_* file. The presence of .in_foo.iso indicates that foo_.iso has not been completely downloaded. Pavuk also has a built-in gtk gui in case you want to X. Among its faults: I have had a bad HTTP 1.1 experience in some versions. For some reason files got zeroed when a download automatically resumes. I tend to use the option --nouse_http11 and press Ctrl-C to break a stalled download before resuming manually. Pavuk is multi-threaded, which means you can download several files at the same time, useful for cloning static websites (It can clone websites with dynamic pages but you end up with ugly-looking filenames). Now, if iso's are all you're after I could also recommend prozilla. Do check it out. Prozilla has this nifty feature of pinging various servers for the fastest download available, useful if you think the iso in question is uniquely named. I don't know if prozilla can distinguish between same-named but binary-different files. Prozilla is also multithreaded. Unlike pavuk, it uses this feature to accelerate the download of single files by chopping them up so that four (the default) equal chunks of it get downloaded at the same time. I have successfully downloaded 50+ MB files with Prozilla. Package Info: Description: Multi-threaded download accelerator Prozilla uses multiple connections to download the file faster. It brokes the files in pieces and downloads all them in one time, enhancing the download speed. . Its progress is displayed in an ncurses based UI.
Download managers?
I am running stable, and I was wondering if there are any (preferably non-X) download managers that run well (and possibly come with) Debian. I need it for downloading some ISOs from a dialup connection that I can only use at night. Thanks for any help, Jeremy

Thanks for any help, Jeremy G'day Jeremy, Is darxite in stable ?? if it is I'd give it a go, works on the console and with X supports multiple downloads and will auto resume download on restart if the daemon dies. Cheers Joel

Thanks for any help, Jeremy Try pavuk too, it is much more powerful than wget and exists only in testing/unstable . Though it is more difficult to use, too many options and features :-) B Thomas
Re: Download managers?
Thanks all for the info! I'll give 'em a try soon. Jeremy
