Gwget:Download Manager For Gnome
Submitted by srlinuxx on Sat, 01/10/2009 - 16:42.
What Ubuntu really lacks, is a good download manager. I wanted one and no, Firefox extension 'Downloadthemall' wouldn't work for me. So I decided to look around for a decent download manager. You must have read about 'wget' and most of you must have it already installed on your PC. It is required by many software as an required library. It is a powerful tool for downloading files. However it is a command line tool, so unless you are a super-geek you won't be able to make much out of it.
However there is one software Gwget which gives wget a GUI so that terminal illiterate people like me can use it.

EdgeQam demands max segmented data channel downloads ?
Even the best download accelerators only have 7 channels of segmented data transmission on the net. Some show the dashboard of the download accelerator activities. Googling download accelerators will get download manager.
EdgeQam is planned to have 1024x2 channels available someday for each user.
So, most software has to know how to subdivide data to as many segments as possible by time division concept. Then data feeds will do the cache and data compression of edge for transmission at the same time in realtime.
There is still some leaning to do on parallel data instruction processing. Even Microsoft has to learn today how to use Vista for parallel processing. How to subdivide tasks for multicores?
Pentium has branch prediction on 32bit cpu and operate 32bits like four 8bit processors to gain speed in upto 21 stages or more of guessing in tables of predictions.
Vista is too early for its creation, when human brains lack concepts of multitasking by time based subdivisions.
