Earlier, I discussed the download manager I use on Windows, namely LeechGet. Since then, I have been looking for a good Linux download manager.
In my research, I came across this web page that reviews the different software out there. Not all are freeware though; some shareware. The review was done with a strong emphasis on being clean: free of adware/spyware. After all, the review was done by the same people who gave you Spybot Search & Destroy, a very popular privacy software package.
If you are looking for a download manager you should definitely read this. If you already have one, you may still want to check it out to see if what you are using is clean.
What the article recommends is LeechGet, followed by Download Express. Unfortunately, both are Windows Only. I want one that runs on Linux.
Perhaps, I will use WGET which is a great command line tool that runs on both Linux/Windows.
