Is there any multithreaded download manager for GNU/Linux?
Try d4x.
Then gftp is said to be multithreaded, but when i tried it there was no
improvement in
performance (I can't say how many threads it was using, but the time
of download didn't decrease). The maximum download speed it could
reach was around 2.5 KB/s
It is multithreaded. U can feel the difference if u try dnlding the
same file with ftp and with gftp.
For curl I found the following script:
http://cool.haxx.se/cvs.cgi/curl-perl/examples/multi-threaded.pl?rev=1.1&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup
I don't know even a bit of Perl. But I tried changing the $url to the
file I want to download. I got the following error:
Can't locate WWW/Curl/Easy.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.4 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.4 /usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8
/usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./multi-threaded.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./multi-threaded.pl line 4.
get
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/C/CR/CRISB/WWW-Curl-3.02.tar.gz
and after deflating it, put the Curl subdirectory somewhere in it to
wherever ur /usr/share/perl/5.8.4/WWW/ or equivalent place (As the
case in urs may be. Wherever WWW libs are there).
