Download manager

I have been loading some files off net and i was wondering if there was a download manager that will start when i want it to do a download and show me its actually downloading ,iam using 6.2 and i have no indication if a file is being downloaded or not
many thanks

I had the same problem, and I solved it using "jDownloader" linux version.

The instalation is not difficult if you follow this guide:

Entre los sitios de descargas que podemos gestionar se encuentran FileSonic, Rapidshare, FileServer y muchos mas. Además, si cuentas con alguna membresia Premiun puedes agregarla y disfrutar de sus beneficios con JDowloader.

JDownloader en Ubuntu

JDowloader no se encuentra disponible en los repositorios oficiales de Ubutu, pero podemos instalarlo con un par de simples comandos.

Abrimos una terminal y ejecutamos lo siguiente:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jd-team/jdownloader
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jdownloader

JDownloader estará disponible en la sección de programas de Internet. O bien, con sólo precionar la tecla Win y escribir JDownloader.

Hi David,

what web browser are you using??. The new FireFox 20.0 has excellent features to view downloads!!.

Hi Swarf,

if that is the case then he can install "Uget" or "Steadyflow" and last but not least; "Fatrat" directly from the repo's, if he just wants to see what is happening with his downloads, then the download viewer in FF is enough!!.
