I think this usecase is worth supporting, e.g. to make it easier to download ISO images such as Tails' ones. I would consider it relatively low-priority, though. I think this download manager must have a simple GUI and as few features as possible. I'm not sure what I think of Iceweasel integration. I don't intend to put much energy into that, but still, I searched a bit the Debian packages database with that usecase in mind. > If so, [uget](http://urlget.sourceforge.net/) could be a good candidate. * uget - easy-to-use download manager written in GTK+: from the package long description, looks a bit too feature-full. I did not find any other candidate in Debian that integrates with the web browser. Outside of it, there are: * steadyflow - Simple download manager for GNOME: in Wheezy, not in Squeeze; a quick look at the build-deps makes me think a backport is doable. Aims for minimalism and ease of use. * multiget - graphical download manager: in Squeeze and Wheezy; from the package long description, looks a bit too feature-full. * kget: depends on many parts of KDE, so that's a no. _______________________________________________ tails-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.boum.org/listinfo/tails-dev
