flareGet Is A Great Download Manager For Linux

<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>
