In Puppy 3.01 you need to add libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3 |

I like this download manager as much as any available in Linux. It can pause and resume reliably and shows all the files you are downloading with many options to queue and prioritize. It also does not waste space by doubling up while downloading like Prozilla and DownThemAll. It also plays well with sites like Rapidshare and Filefactory which most of the other Linux download managers don't do. The only thing lacking is multithreading but I rarely find that to be even necessary in these broadband times. However, this is a rather old version and has a bug whereby the remaining time is not calculated. This was fixed in newer versions but the only binaries I could find were for Debian and are a lot larger than this one Has anybody compiled version 1.0.0 or newer for Puppy? http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/a/aria/ |

I couldn't find anything new on Aria there. Only Aria2c which I have found to be more trouble than it is worth. Aria2c often fails to start the download and just sits there. It also fails at resuming a download often, especially if you change servers. I tried the flashgot integration, but I hit ctrl+F3 by accident a few times and it stupidly opens up a million downloads and promptly crashes the computer. It also does not play nice with some download sites that Aria works fine with. It is not even lightweight anymore, it has turned into a bloated complicated mess. Its only advantage is it is supposed to be a multithread downloader but it is such a pain in the ass to put the urls in if you want to download a file from different servers. It also drops servers too easily and there is no facillity to restart. Then there is the hassle of having to go back and put the download site urls in quotes because it bombs otherwise so the flashgot integration ends up being useless a lot of the time. Aria is neat, has a graphical user interface showing multiple simultaneous downloads in one window, works properly with Rapidshare and the like and will resume properly. You can queue and throttle on the fly, change the order of download priority and schedule. It even can download whole website structures. |

Woops! I forgot all about the gui-based aria downloader. Which pupversion are you wanting it for? I tried the debian version, but it doesn't like my versions of libcrypto.so.0.9.7 & libssl.so.0.9.7. |
