There are a couple of free alternatives.

It has a tendency though to freeze if you don't hard stop downloads before exiting. In contrast prozilla allows segmented one file downloads. For a long time I swore by pavuk, which hasn't had a new release in a couple of months. It's much faster than wget if you're downloading a list of files or mirroring a site. For mainly site or directory mirroring, as against single file wget'ing I'd recommend httrack. As many already pointed out wget is the standard. But that doesn't prevent you from putting a nice faceplate over it. I've tried several wget frontends like gtm (Gnome Transfer Manager) and kmago and kbear. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
