Now set the Size format as 123 K and the Speed format as 2.1 K and I guess you're done.

If CLI scares you, gwget is the GNOME frontend for wget and Kget is the KDE front end. Dunno if Downloader for X is based on wget or not. I just stick to wget from CLI, it's easy enough and doesn't use much resources.

Wget pawns yes, love the CLI

Just login to another virtual terminal and continue there na. You have 6 such terminals there.

QwertyManiac · 03-09-2006, 07:29 AM

Yeah but I'd like to try minimizing it to a tray

JGuru · 03-09-2006, 01:09 PM

@Qwerty, just click on the minimize icon on the top-right of the Terminal Window.
Other options include press 'Alt + F9'. This will minimize it.

Yeah it worked .thanks guys

I think D4X is the best rather than Gwget

JGuru · 03-09-2006, 03:57 PM

There is another Download Manager available called Aria.
It's also a good one. It's according to your preference @Thilina.
You can use Gwget, D4x, Aria ,wget etc.,

well wget is damm easy
to download a file just go to terminal type wget & just copy paste the d/l location using ctrl+c & crtl+shift+v

Code:

wget www.microsoft.com.vista/exe

can anything be more simple than that??

Just what was that? I want to minimize it to tray! And why are you instructing me on how to minimize a window to the bar?

h0la!
what kind of URL was that?

JGuru · 04-09-2006, 12:50 PM

@Thilina, Here is the link for Aria. Download it from here.

NOTE: If you are using a Debian-based distro then you must convert the RPM package
to Debian format using the 'alien' command.
For eg.,
$ sudo alien <package>.extension

This will convert it to Debian format. Install it as you install a Debian package.
