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.

Install MultiGet on Ubuntu

Installing MultiGet in Ubuntu is fairly easy. All you have to do is to drop down to terminal and type the following command:

sudo apt-get install multiget

You can start MultiGet in Ubuntu by going to Applications > Internet > MultiGet

With amazing Internet speeds a download manager comes in really handy. Although I must confess that Linux, still lacks a good GUI based Download Manager. D4X also called as Downloader for X is a decent alternative. However,  I can say that it’s no where in comparison to IDM (Internet Download Manager) on Windows. Let us see how to install D4X on Ubuntu (Jaunty).

1. Open your synaptic package manager by going to System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager

synapticpackagemanager

2. In the quick search box type d4x.

d4xsynaptic

3. Select the first package and click apply. You’ll see the following window and click Apply.

d4xsynapticinstall

Starting and Running D4X

In order to run D4X hit ALT+F2 and type d4x

d4xrun

Following is how the interface of D4X looks.

d4xmain

It’s pretty intuitive to use. Enjoy fast downloads!
