I like Getleft. It does what Its suppose to do , resume downloads. Looks ugly, but it works. And its dependancies are really small, only curl is needed. And thats an easy download.
o resume support
o split downloads in several parts
o mirrors support (get the different parts from different mirrors)
AFAIK wget doesn't support that unfortunately. Imagine a 600 MB download ... if you could use the mirror stuff it would be perfect. Up till I find a download manager that supports that I have to do the downloads using FlashGet on my windows box :-(
proz splits and resumes. It allegedly has (errr... HAD) the ability to check for mirrors, but that hasn't worked since Lycos changed their ftp-search site.

Luckily I have redhat 9.0 that has a built in download manager. Works great. You guys should try it out. I tried bittorrent and didn't like it. Way too slow.
