I was messing around with Pwget today and changed a few things in it,
I removed 'ok' and replaced with download.
I reused, but included the puppy logo as a banner, The actual pet size is like 3kb on puppy 4 series, Since its replacing the logo with the same logo. But I included the 4 series logo for series 2&3 hence the 8.6kb pet size, still smaller than the original version :)
below is the package and Screenshot

ttuuxxx,
How about combining the above, with gposil's adaptation that includes a login and password feature? http://www.gposil.com/pets/pwsget-0.1.pet This would make it a better alternative to uget that Barry has included in 417.

How about improving on / extending Pwget with some much needed features?

- Switch User Agent: Some sites are very picky and won't let you download any files unless Pwget reports a specific user agent to the site.

- Set the time to auto-resume after connection is down. Resuming in Pwget is a nice feature, but it takes more than 5 minutes (!) for Pwget to resume a download in case your dial-up / ADSL connection gets reset / disconnected. That's too long :(

- A way to STOP (CANCEL) the download - an *essential* feature

- No cookies (Don't use cookies)

Classic obuscation of a command line app. Sad.

Classic obfuscation and crippling of a powerful command line app.

Fixed :)
