Free gnome download manager software for linux

Retriever allows you to download files from the internet easier and with more control than from your web browser, with it you can resume interrupted downloads at any time thats convenient or even schedule downloads to occur when youre away from your computer. Even if one server is too busy to accomodate you Retriever will automatically switch to another to continue your download.

No matter how many times your download is interrupted or stopped Retriever gives you a successful download.
Retriever is highly reliable and customizable.
Downloads can be input manually into the program or captured from the clipboard.

GNOME Transfer Manager allows the user to retrieve multiple files from the web.

These files can be retrieved in multiple parts and each part retrieved on a separate session that the user is connected to the Internet. This is most useful to users with dialup connections. The program performs these tasks using wget as its back-end.

The program supports CORBA. This makes it easy for other programs to use GTransferManager to handle the transfer of files from the Internet.

The program also has an applet which communicates with program using CORBA. The applet can launch the program, request for a new download or accept drops of URLs from netscape, gFTP, gmc and give these URLs to GTM.

GNOME Power Manager gets all information from HAL using information from org.freedesktop.Hal. GNOME Power Manager does not do independent probing for data, it relies on HAL, in this way it can stay very lightweight and uncomplicated. GNOME Power Manager goal is to be architecture neutral and free of polling and other hacks.
Power management in Linux sucks. Depending if you are running a PPC or i386 PC the different power management facilities are vastly different. To get your machine to suspend on lid press is already possible, but is difficult to know what config files to modify.
To get your LCD screen brightness set to 50% when you remove the AC Adapter of your laptop is probably possible with a clever little Perl script, but is not something that comes ready configured on a standard Linux distro.
Any of these things need the user to become the super-user to do the action. This needs to change before Linux is accepted as a contender for the corporate desktop.
Main features:
- Laptop batteries
- AC Adapters
- APC UPSs
- SynCE PDAs
- Logitech Wireless Mice
- Logitech Wireless Keyboards
GNOME Power Manager owns the session D-BUS service net.sf.GnomePower and runs a session daemon (i.e. once per logged in user) and optionally displays battery status and low battery notifications.
The session daemon is very resource friendly. Other than the initial coldplug, it uses internal caching for all the power devices, so no additional lookups are needed for each update event. It will only update the displayed icon on a powerState change, but will update the tooltip on every percentage change. It should use *very little* CPU and memory.

Gnome Remote Connection Manager is a gnome application that stores information
about remote connections.
It gives you a GUI program to launch applications like telnet, shh, or rdesktop. It is highly configurable as to what type of applications it launches, so you are not limited to the three listed, for example I never thought of using it for ftp, but it would be easy to setup.
GRCM uses gconf to store information about connections.
Enhancements:
- Added some missing icons.
- Fixed a callback in the Connections Dialog that made the default arguments from the connection appear when selected.

Downloads in Tab is an extension which opens "Downloads" manager in tab from Tools menu.

Opens "Downloads" manager in tab from Tools menu or automaticlly when a download starts, when in options you uncheck "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file"

To use tab, in Firefox Options dialog uncheck "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file"

To use window, in Firefox Options dialog check "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file"

To use neither, disable or remove this extension and in Firefox Options dialog uncheck "Show the Downloads window when downloading a file" which will restore original functioning.
