Linux Lite Forums

I cant find any downloader with proper integration extension and a multithreading support
...all the download managers are bad and don't have integration tools or are actually trial only ... can you mind telling me people what the download manager you are using ...(if any)

wget -c <url goes here>

I use the one that comes with the browser, and I mainly use Chrome.

The best download manager is already available in Linux Lite; it's called wget. Just type and copy/paste the link for whatever it is you want to download, like so Using wget you can download a lot of stuff from the web. For any other thing I think the one from the browser i.e Firefox, or whichever browser you use is enough. I learned from trying many download managers that none worth my time installing them; downloads aren't faster than if I used the browser plus most of the time they don't work as expected. But then again, it's my point of view and someone else might think different. However, I use wget to download a lot of things, tixati for torrents/magnet links and the browser for anything I can't or don't want to download from the terminal or via torrent.  You can read and learn more on how to use wget here , here and here
Hope this helps!

Update
i have just installed OPERA BROWSER after facing issues with chrome and it appears that opera have the best download manger integrated with it .. double kill with one shot

I use SeaMonkey as my browser of choice and then use DownThemAll as my download manager. Works fine.
