flareGet Download Manager Updated With Important Changes And Bug Fixes

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://flareget.com/">flareGet</a>, a <a href="http://www.webupd8.org/2013/02/flareget-is-great-download-manager-for.html">download manager for Linux</a> that supports dynamic file segmentation, HTTP-pipelining for accelerated downloads and more, has been updated recently, receiving quite a few improvements and bug fixes.</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-1.4.png" imageanchor="1" rel="image_group" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="flareGet Linux download manager screenshot" border="0" height="197" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b-f1SVpOLV0/UW1OQvpVrAI/AAAAAAAAO_M/BLgh-7rz0JA/s320/flareget-1.4.png" width="320" /></a></div></div><br /><a name='more'></a><i>The application is free to use but not open-source.</i><br /><br /><br /><b>Changes in the latest flareGet 1.4:</b><br /><ul><li>improved batch downloads;</li><li>redesigned scheduler;</li><li>added support for multiple row selections/operations;</li><li>added support for refreshing url and cookies;</li><li>added download info dialog;</li><li>added support for checksum (hash) – MD5, SHA1;</li><li>added advanced options in start download dialog;</li><li>more display options – show/hide columns, toolbar etc.;</li><li>added auto-update feature;</li><li>improved resume support which should fix the bug some of you were experiencing with broken downloads;</li><li>fixed bug with downloads stopping near the end;</li><li>fixed issue with one click restore in Unity;</li><li>other bug fixes for the Grabber, batch downloading and more.</li></ul><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Also, like I was telling you a while back, flareGet supports downloading Flash video from various websites such as YouTube, but it wasn't obvious how you could download videos at a certain quality. With the latest release, the flareGet "Grabber" allows you to choose the video quality as well as the file name: start the grabber, play a video in your browser and the initial quality at which the video is played will show up in flareGet - if you change the quality for the playing video, a new video format for that quality will be available for download in flareGet as you can see in the sreenshots below:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-quality.png" rel="image_group"><img alt="flareGet grabber" src="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-quality_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-download.png" rel="image_group"><img alt="flareGet grabber" src="http://img.netupd8.com/flareget-grabber-download_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><h2>Download flareGet</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">flareGet is available for Ubuntu, Linux Mint and other Debian based Linux distributions as well as Fedora, OpenSuse and other RPM based Linux distributions. There are also generic tar.gz files (though this isn't the source as flareGet is not open source) that should work in other Linux distributions.</div><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><b><a href="http://flareget.com/download/">Download flareGet</a></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://flareget.com/">flareGet</a> is download manager for Linux that features dynamic file segmentation, HTTP-pipelining for accelerated downloads, supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and metalinks and more. The application is free to use but not open-source.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The application is written in Qt and besides the icons, it integrates pretty well under GNOME, including desktop notifications and an AppIndicator for Unity.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iF4bFtB9DKs/URJrU7PwLSI/AAAAAAAANU0/TnE8kd05gq8/s1600/flareget-download-manager.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="flareget download manager" border="0" height="223" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-iF4bFtB9DKs/URJrU7PwLSI/AAAAAAAANU0/TnE8kd05gq8/s320/flareget-download-manager.png" title="flareget download manager" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><b>flareGet features:</b><br /><ul><li>HTTP-Pipelining;</li><li>Dynamic File Segmentation - supports up to 32 segments per download;</li><li>Auto Segmentation: When one segment ends, it starts another segment to help terminate another segment more fast;</li><li>Flash video support for "most sites and all browsers";</li><li>Resume support;</li><li>Clipboard monitoring so download links are added automatically, without having to copy/paste the links;</li><li>Can limit number of downloads;</li><li>Batch downloads support;</li><li>Smart scheduler;</li><li>File management: it automatically categorizes downloaded files by extension: application, document, video, audio, images, etc.;</li></ul><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Besides the features above, flareGet users can also get enhanced browser integration (with all major browsers supported: Google Chrome, Chromium, Firefox and Opera), however, this feature is <a href="http://flareget.com/browser-integration-2/">not free</a> and costs $10.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To download Flash videos (I've only tested it with YouTube and Firefox and I can confirm it works), click "Grabber" in the flareGet toolbar, then when you start playing a flash video in your browser (Firefox, Chrome or Opera), a flareGet popup should be displayed with the video URL, allowing you to start the download or add it to the downloads queue:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DjJOQLTG0U0/URJwOi8cWcI/AAAAAAAANU8/neIEmLpMlX4/s1600/flareget-yt-videos.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="flareget download video youtube" border="0" height="194" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-DjJOQLTG0U0/URJwOi8cWcI/AAAAAAAANU8/neIEmLpMlX4/s320/flareget-yt-videos.png" title="flareget download video youtube" width="320" /></a></div><br />Unfortunately, at least for YouTube, flareGet doesn't download HD videos so the quality is pretty bad and there's no option to change this. But maybe such a feature will be added in a future release.</div><br /><br /><h2>Download flareGet</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">flareGet is currently only available for Linux, but it should also be available for  Windows soon.<br /><br />The application can be installed from Ubuntu Software Center, but that's a pretty old and buggy version. <b>To get the latest version, see the <a href="http://flareget.com/download/">flareGet downloads page</a> - there are .rpm and .deb files available.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">To install it in Ubuntu, firstly make sure no previous versions are installed and only then install the latest flareGet.</div><br /><div style="text-align: right;"><i>thanks to lolren for the tip!</i></div>
