It has the added advantage of browser integration although this does not currently work with the Chrome browser.

It can act as a GUI front end to the powerful aria2c download manager which means it can do what aria2c and Wget can do and the “command line is too hard” cry babies can use it too.

Uget is, in my opinion, the best GUI download manager in Ubuntu. I have however encountered strange errors when attempting to download torrents using magnet links so it is far from a perfect experience. It also supports torrent downloads all you need to do is supply the magnet link or torrent file location or URL as an argument and you are done. It is multi-threaded, which means a significant speed boost for those on slower connections. Like Wget, this is a pretty much command line program which again can be a turnoff for those who are easily intimidated by the command line but gives power and flexibility to power users.

To install type the following commands in your terminal: sudo apt-get update&sudo apt-get install aria2cĪria2c does pretty much everything Wget does and more. It does not,not however, support multi-threading (multiple connections to the same server) which is not a big deal if you have a 20 Mbps FTTH connection but is a pretty big deal on slower internet connections.

Wget is extremely versatile: it can run in daemon mode, allows you to put your download list into a text or HTML file, can act as a bot, can keep retrying until a file is retrieved, can resume downloads, make you coffee and just about everything else you can dream of. Like all Linux goodies, this is a command line program which makes it powerful and forbidding at the same time. I am going to look at my favourite download managers and where possible provide a list of pros and cons of each manager.Īs I have already pointed out, Wget comes preinstalled on every Linux distro from Ubuntu to Puppy Linux and Tinycore. I have, however, decided to in fact point out the fact that Ubuntu, and most Linux distros, do in fact come with a download manager called Wget as my nemesis pointed out to me and that there are a lot of other download managers that one can use in Ubuntu.
