I have found here that there is a multi-thread version of cURL downloader.

How to install it and can it be used with Flashgot?

I am not looking for other multi-thread downloaders, I already have Axel, Aria2, cURL, uGet and Wget in my flashgot list. I even have VLC there to open youtube in vlc if it strikes my fancy :) ... I just wanted to test a new option, that's all.

The latest version of uGet has cURL multi-connections built in without the need of a plugin.

http://uGetdm.com/

I know you are already aware of uGet as you stated in your question but not sure if you're aware of the latest version new cURL features.

  • that is the best solution for what I was asking; curl multi-connection inside uGet, and uGet integration in Flashgot –  Dec 05 '14 at 20:31
  • to change the default settings (number of connections per download, download folder, etc): here on the uGet website –  Dec 05 '14 at 20:46
  • although people seem to praise aria2 before curl, using curl multiple connections in uGet it is for the first time in Linux (maybe excepting Flareget, now very limited in the free version) that I have seen download speeds pushed up in the same way IDM does it in Windows –  Dec 05 '14 at 21:25
  • thank you for updating with the non-beta edit...I probably wouldn't have thought to do that. :) – Michael Tunnell Jul 06 '15 at 16:40
  • I usually try to update answers that were useful to me - in this case there was an up-vote that made it visible :) –  Jul 07 '15 at 10:01
  • can you take a look here? I've just created a uget tag on U&L :) –  Sep 11 '15 at 16:00

To get a multi-threaded downloader which integrates with FlashGot, you can install uget and aria2

sudo apt-get install uget aria2

Then, go to uGet's settings and enable the aria2 plugin.

uGet will also show up on FlashGot's list, where it can be selected for browser integration.

  • OP has already said aria2 is not what they want: http://askubuntu.com/questions/556991/is-it-possible-to-have-multi-thread-curl-with-flashgot-in-ubuntu#comment765265_556991 – muru Dec 05 '14 at 16:23

    @muru -i should have made that clearer in the question maybe –  Dec 05 '14 at 16:28
  • take a look at Michaell Tunnell's answer, curl has multi-thread option in uGet –  Dec 05 '14 at 20:48
