flareGet: the new IDM alternative option for Ubuntu/Linux (Sep 19)
I was googling around for the best download manager out there for Ubuntu, but many of what I've tried have failed me >.<
Until I found flareGet and oh boy! IT'S SO AWESOME! -still in beta though- It's truly an IDM alternative app for Linux and it's the only one out there with multi-thread technology up to 32 segments/connections even better than IDM :D I know that flareGet is currently may looks like a simple download manager (its GUI) but name one for linux that has a frontend, multi-thread downloading, file segemntation with up to 32 segments/connections and truly very fast just like IDM Internet Download Manager for Windows! (IT CAN DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE VIDEOS NOW!) You would take a first look and usually say flareGet mimics Orbit Downloader! Well, flareGet doesn't mimic Orbit Downloader, actually flareGet and Orbit Downloader both mimics IDM! xD Screenshots http://s12.postimage.org/ro8bjw6bf/ss1_png.jpg http://s12.postimage.org/a20gf3y7v/ss2_png.jpg Features

I'm surprised that Sourceforge is okay with hosting this, considering that it's not open source.
