A Download Accelerator for Linux?

Does anyone know of a download accelerator for linux, that works well? Kind of like DAP for windows?

Thanks!

d00d that stuff is a mockery, the only true way to accelerate your
DL speed is to get a better ISP ;)
i mean you could try something like axel or prozilla, but i doubt
it'll make much of a difference ...
what is your downstream at your current ISP?

I get fairly good download speeds in linux...yet it seems the speed fluctuates quite a bit. Sometimes going low, sometimes getting higher. It does this in windows as well, yet when using a download manager it tends to keep a more steady speed *usually quite high*. I will check out the suggestions, thanks!

do you even know what accelerator programs do?

i had cable 3 years ago and no webserver was capable of sending at 1.5 megabytes a second
but recieving the file from 5 seperate servers i could achieve 1.5MB/s

thats what download accelerators do they don give you speed beyond the stated speed of your connection, they mearly help achieve it.
