Gwget is a nice gtk frontend for wget if you like to use a GUI app <a href="http://gnome.org/projects/gwget/index.html">http://gnome.org/projects/gwget/index.html</a> <div>On 2/13/06, Peter Garrett <<a href="mailto:peter.garrett@optusnet.com.au">peter.garrett@optusnet.com.au</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Mon, 13 Feb 2006 10:34:24 +0800 Herman Aa <<a href="mailto:hermanaa@gmail.com">hermanaa@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > I need a good download-manager that can 'resume' (can resume a partially > downloaded file). > > The default-download in Ubuntu has no resume. > I checked Synaptic.

Actually apt-get (Synaptic is just pretty pictures in front of apt-get) is not bothered about an interrupted download - you just issue the command again and it's smart enough to know what is already downloaded in the archive, and picks up where you left off. As a test, run apt-get install <package-of-your-choice>, then stop it by hitting ctrl+C, and reissue the same command - you will see that there is no problem. As for reliable resumable downloads outside of apt/Synaptic, I usually just use wget -c <a href="http://path.to.file">http://path.to.file</a> Firefox's download set-up is pretty flaky for big downloads. > > Does anyone know if there is a DL-manager with resume available for Ubuntu? get as above, or you might like d4x (downloader for X) which is not as powerful but does the job with a nice GUI frontend.
