Downloading files and other related information from the internet tends to be a tedious task, especially in the case of slow connections, frequent interrupts during downloads, and multiple file download that  takes up quite a lot of time. If the connection is lost while downloading the file, it becomes a herculean task to open the page and start the download again.

A tool that is able to provide a suitable solution to the above mentioned issues is the Download Manager Downloader for X 2.5.7.1. This latest release has just a few added enhancements than its predecessors, the most prominent ones being the increase in product stability and fixture of bugs.

An open source project that is free for use, Downloader for X 2.5.7.1 has been inspired from programs like ReGet and GetRigh to name a few. It has a powerful and yet a simple user friendly interface and is able to support the downloading of files using both HTTP and FTP protocol suites.

Some of the key features of Downloader for X 2.5.7.1 include:

. A multi queued design helps to manage the file download operation with a simple interface and the ability to control the operation via command line arguments.
. Provision for support of both HTTP and FTP protocol suites to download files. SOCKS5 support is also included. Proxy servers to the protocol suites are also supported with provided authentication.
. Provision for support of Persistent Connections which increases the speed of downloading as well as keeps connection timeouts to a minimum. Accordingly, persistent connections over HTTP are supported automatically while persistent connections over FTP are user defined.
. Built in scheduler and URL manager which automatically allow the user to simplify managed downloads by specifying criterion.
. Provision for support of recursive downloading via HTTP and FTP allowing the user to specify which files need to be downloaded and which files need to be skipped. This is achieved with the help of a powerful Filters manager. FTP downloads support Wildcards too. The speed of the download can be controlled with modern day managers enabling users to perform other tasks while the files are being downloaded.
. Ability to manage the downloaded files by keeping a log of all the download sessions for easy monitoring. Downloads can be managed in real time as well wherein the user can pause, continue, add new downloads and remove downloads manually in addition to removing completed or failed downloads.
. Provision for support of downloading files through multiple channels simultaneously thus increasing the speed by nearly 300%.

System Requirements:

. Runs on any UNIX and LINUX platforms.
. Support for GTK+.
