QDL is GUI download manager that provides management of file downloads. In addition to direct links to files, QDL also supports other sites and filehosts.

Current features:
  • Concurrent file downloads (maximum is user-definable).
  • User-definable categories for completed downloads.
  • Add multiple URLs simultaneously.
  • Import URLs from text file.
  • Option to monitor clipboard for URLs.
  • Pause/resume downloads.
  • Restore incomplete downloads upon startup of the application.

As mentioned above, you can also provide a direct link to a file, as you would with wget. Basic auth should work, though I haven't tested it. I may add other features such as header-only downloads in future.

UPDATE 24/03/13:

Version 0.8.1 for Maemo5 now available from extras-devel. Changelog:
  • Plugins are now distributed as separate packages.
  • Bug fixes.

For Maemo5, the list of available plugins can be obtained by entering:

Code:
apt-get update
apt-cache search qdl-plugins
Version 0.8.1 for Harmattan: http://ubuntuone.com/1bNJeUYqgtatkwohKgeZUx

Plugins: http://ubuntuone.com/2FTtn2XojvnRVx8lXULQrW

Install the main application first. The plugins depend on qdl >= 0.8.1.
