Locating the desire of Themes

Usually I used Firefox as the default browser and also download directly by Firefox Download Manager. But recently I need to paused and resume my download files because it’s huge file and I must paused and resume later.

Well, usually I used wget with all the stuff but I like GUI better than command line application, so I tried to search in google with the keyword “download manager ubuntu“. I have found several GUI DOWNLOAD MANAGER for Ubuntu especially I use it for my Hardy Heron.

1. Multi Get

This application already complete with many feature and of course can be resume. But till now I couldn’t use with more than 10 thread. I don’t why the developer limit the thread. I recommended MultiGet as your GUI Download Manager.

Download.

2. Downloader for X

In the command line it said d4x. It’s easy to install just use this command :

sudo apt-get install d4x

I like this application too, completed like MultiGet and plus Schedule mode. Number of thread or split files also 10 files. I don’t why developer love with the number 10.

3. ProzGUI

ProzGUI is the development of Prozilla. ProZilla is command line downloader and this will suck up your Internet bandwidth. I like the ProZilla because it can split as much as you want. Unfortunately we can’t do it in the ProzGUI. ProzGUI has 30 maximum file to split and it’s to simple so I can’t do more than just download. If you’d like to try you can download using Synaptic Package Manager, but you must added in the repository this command line first :
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sarge main
Click at System | Administration | Software Resources and choose Third Party and add those command. And then you can reload install at the Synaptic Package Manager.

Upgrading Virtualbox into 2.0.2 from 2.0.0 is not hard and it’s easy to do. All that you need is just install from Synaptic Package Manager and update Virtualbox. I hope my problem will solved when I want to transfer file from client into host, because at the previous release when I want to transfer file from client (windows XP) to Host (ubuntu 8.04), Windows always error “Core Dump” and I must restart the virtualbox.

Eventually my dream has not come true after updating VIrtualbox it still happen when I want to make a transfer files. What I do now is transfering via ftp from client to host. Anyone has the same problem with me and already has the solution ?

Enabled it first the third party of repository.
