I would suggest steadyflow. It's lean slick interface fits Xfce better I think. It's is a little bigger than uget (768k compared to 560k) but this mainly due to the translations - and I consider proper localization important. However I am not sure if we need a download manager anyway. We already ship a webbrowser with download manager. This should do for most people, I don't want to duplicate functionality. For each task, we should have one program in the default install. Just my 2ยข.
