uget (download manager with GTK GUI)
|
|
|
|
uGet is a Free and Open Source download manager.
|
|
|
|
It allows for queuing downloads, file type-based classification of
|
|
downloads, and is lightweight.
|
|
|
|
By default, uGet uses curl for downloads. If desired, uGet can use aria2
|
|
instead. To do this, install aria2, then launch uGet and choose "Edit =>
|
|
Settings => Plug-in => Plug-in matching order", and select "aria2". There's
|
|
no need to rebuild uGet after installing aria2: it's an optional run-time
|
|
dependency.
|
|
|
|
uGet can be compiled without support for notifications, since some users
|
|
find them annoying. To do this, pass LIBNOTIFY=no to the script.
|
|
|
|
uGet can also be compiled without support for gstreamer. This will stop
|
|
the "Sound when download is finished" option from working. To do this,
|
|
pass GSTREAMER=no to the script.
|
|
|
|
If you're upgrading from uGet 1.x, run "uget-gtk-1to2" to convert your
|
|
old settings in ~/.config/uGet to the format used by uGet 2.x.
|
|
|
|
The status line at the top of the uGet window is intended to announce new
|
|
releases of uGet, but it's currently "stuck" and claims that 2.0.8 is a
|
|
"new stable release". Upstream is working on the problem; please just
|
|
ignore the status line for now.
