Download Managers helps you download faster and with better efficiency. There are many download managers available for Linux. However, I haven’t come across the one which is as good as Internet Download Manager. MultiGet is a cross platform download manager that provides all the basic functionality of a good download manager.

MultiGet is an easy-to-use GUI file downloader for Windows/Linux/BSDs/MacOs. It’s programmed in C++ and has a GUI based on wxWidgets. It supports HTTP/FTP protocols which covers the requirements of most users. It supports multi-task with multi-thread on multi-server. It supports resuming downloads if the Web server supports it, and if you like, you can reconfig the thread number without stopping the current task. It’s also support SOCKS 4,4a,5 proxy, ftp proxy, http proxy.
