Depending on your needs GNU wget might be just what you want.

thp: yeah wget but with an interface on the top
noobm: as you say - like the microb one but with more functionality is that i was thinking.

something like the 'DownloadThemAll' plug in for firefox but with a cut down feature set.

I wasn't sure if there was one in devel or if anyone was working on one.

I like the idea of a timed wget.

My ISP allows me uncapped downloads between 2am to 7am.

On my desktop I use the "at" command to schedule a bash script(calls wget with parameters) to download stuff in the wee hours of the morning.

Something like this would be handy for n900.

Additionaly it should only download through certain connections for example at home on my WIFI, but not at work.

A GUI interface using wget, cron and additional "verification" script should do the trick.

Even a python script can do something like this.

Add a list of links to download via python "frontend".
The list is written to a text file.
You specify time and date.
script will then schedule it via cron.
downloads via wget (can even use cookies for auto-login for sites e.g. Rapidshare.com)

Are there any existing open-source download managers that could be ported, I wonder?

aria2c and also build a nice xml-rpc interface to it.

Download Manager?
 
Is there some kind of an internet download manager? I have some problems with my pc and i have to download some files from rapidshare. I can't use built-in manager cuz that file has 50 parts of 100 mb.

when things go this coplicated, with the n900 you can install easydebian and run jdownloader from there.

its heavy, you must be patient, but its a full java download manager with captcha recognition

Is there now any other soulution as to use easy-debian? I cannot imagine no one is able to create or uninterested in having one...

mwmf wrote/writes a gui for tucan ( i already wrote that once ) which won't depend on java.

I din't tried it, sorry. But I also would be happy if someone had the time to try it or develop some finger-friendly frontend. :)
