If you use wget, you are assured of continual md5 checks during the download to ensure the file is correct. In addition, you can resume the download using wget if your connection fails. Do you mean use it like this? wget http://domain.com/linux.isoYes, that's exactly it. For example, to download the MiniMe iso from the debian.ethz.ch mirror, you would simply open a terminal and enter: wget http://debian.ethz.ch/mirror/pclinuxos/live-cd/pclinuxos-kde-minime-2012.02.isoIt is just that simple. To use prozilla, substitute proz for wget. By default, the prozilla download will separate the iso file into 4 equally sized segments and download each segment simultaneously. Prozilla is in the repositories. Just like wget, prozilla also has the option to continue an aborted download, rather than having to begin all over again. is a great downloader. I always add the option -c so if for some reasons I have to Ctrl+C, I can always resume the download instead of having to start from O. And if there are more than two files I needed to download, I just create a URL+filename list and use the -i option. Of course there's more you can do with wget ...  Then there's curl and aria2... |

+1 for prozilla.
There was a gui around called prozgui, which was the way I first encountered prozilla. Sadly the Gui is not developed any more and therefore fell out of the repos. But prozilla is so simple to use it doesn't matter too much.

If you want a down loader with a gui, look at D4X aka Downloader for X.

Someone else said that he got better results with 'wget' because he found the GUI based platforms didn't work as well. His experience, not mine. |

Someone else said that he got better results with 'wget' because he found the GUI based platforms didn't work as well. His experience, not mine. Bad d/ls can be caused by many things, but especially a bad RAM card. I use Kget almost daily, and the only bad d/ls ever were the result of a failed RAM card. Removing/replacing it, solved the problem. A good clue that it's the RAM that has a problem is to run md5sum on the same large file numerous times. If the generated number varies, the RAM is bad, or at least one card is. |

A maintenance release is a quarterly (more or less) update release. It is intended for new users / new installs. Those who have an up-to-date install do not need it. |
