3. uGet

Here goes the third one, uGet. uGet is another free, open source and fully featured cross-platform download manager. The download manager comes with so many features that a good download manager should have. You can check out the main features down below:

• Resume Capability: uGet has resume capability that can resume any paused or stopped downloading.

MultiGet does have some other features but MultiGet somewhere lacks stability. I installed MultiGet and faced one problem.

I had to stop ‘multiget’ process from system manager to start again system menu.

Если вам нужно выбрать лучший менеджер загрузок в Linux, то вам понравится эта статья. На самом деле для Linux есть большое количество менеджеров загрузок, открытых, свободных и легких в использовании. Возможно, сейчас для многих эта тема уже не актуальна, появился очень быстрый интернет и все можно скачать браузером за несколько секунд, то не у всех такой хороший интернет. За времена медленных и нестабильных соединений было создано достаточно программ для загрузки файлов.

В этой статье мы рассмотрим четыре лучшие свободные менеджеры закачек Linux. Только четыре, для того чтобы вы не запутались в этом многообразии и выбрали именно то, что нужно вам в зависимости от ваших потребностей. Перейдем к списку.

Лучшие менеджеры закачек в Linux

1. Xtreme Download Manager (XDM)

Те, кто недавно перешел с Windows на Linux, скорее всего, выберут XDM, потому что по интерфейсу он похож на IDM (Internet Download Manager). XDM очень прост в установке и использовании, а также поддерживает огромное количество функций. Последняя версия XDM выпущена в прошлом году. Этот менеджер закачек для линукс имеет такие особенности:

• Поддержка докачки — XDM позволяет восстановить прерванную загрузку, если срок действия URL истек, то вы можете обновить URL.
• Принудительная сборка — Это одна из полезных возможностей XDM. Мы часто встречаемся с ошибкой: невозможно собрать файл. С помощью этой функции вы можете принудительно собрать все загруженные части файла в одно. Для видео, принудительная сборка работает превосходно.
• Загрузка видео с Youtube — Вам не нужно устанавливать дополнительное программное обеспечение, чтобы скачать видео с Youtube. Просто скопируйте URL, выберите качество и нажмите загрузить.
• Интеграция с браузером — XDM может быть интегрирован с большинством популярных браузеров, таких как Mozilla Firefox и Chromium.

Чтобы установить XDM из Noobslab PPA выполните такие команды:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:noobslab/apps
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xdman

2. Persepolis

Программа Persepolis бесплатна и распространяется с открытым исходным кодом. Она представляет из себя удобный графический интерфейс для утилиты aria2 и доступна для Linux, Windows и MacOS. Особенности программы:

• Сегментная загрузка;
• Планирование скачиваний;
• Очередь загрузки;
• Поиск и загрузка видео с Youtube, Vimeo, DailyMotion и других подобных сайтов;
• Имеет расширение для большинства популярных браузеров.

Для установки программы выполните:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:persepolis/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install persepolis

3. uGet

uGet — это еще один кроссплатформенный, свободный менеджер загрузок в Linux с открытым исходным кодом. Это отличный менеджер загрузок с большим количеством функций. Вот его основные особенности:

• Возможность докачки — uGet позволяет догружать прерванные загрузки и ставить их на паузу.
• Создание очереди — Если вы хотите чтобы загрузки запускались автоматически, можно просто создать очередь, uGet скачает все файлы по одному.
• Мониторинг буфера обмена — Менеджер закачек ubuntu uGet следит за буфером обмена и выбирает все скопированные url адреса. Вы можете скопировать несколько адресов и инициировать загрузку одним кликом.
• Планировщик — Планировщик позволяет запланировать старт загрузки в любое время.

Вы можете легко установить последнюю версию uGet из официального PPA или из центра приложений, но в PPA вы получите последнюю стабильную версию.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plushuang-tw/uget-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install uget

4. MultiGet

И последний на сегодня свободный, многофункциональный менеджер закачек для линукс с открытым исходным кодом это MultiGet. Это тоже неплохой менеджер загрузок для Linux, включающий все необходимые функции. Вот некоторые из них:

• Возобновление докачки — MultiGet имеет функцию возобновления загрузки любого файла.
• Поддержка HTTP и FTP протоколов
• Мониторинг буфера обмена — MultiGet контролирует буфер обмена, а это значит, что как только вы скопируете URL, MultiGet предложит скачать файл по скопированной ссылке.
• Поддержка нескольких загрузок и многопоточности.
• Поддержка прокси — SOCKS 4, 4a, 5, HTTP, FTP.

MultiGet поддерживает и другие функции, но ему не хватает стабильности. Этот менеджер закачек доступен в официальных репозиториях, поэтому вы можете его установить выполнив:

sudo apt install multiget

5. DownThemAll

Пятой в нашем списке будет программа DownThemAll, точнее, это не программа, а плагин Firefox. Так что этот пункт только для пользователей Firefox, но его главное преимущество в том, что вы можете использовать его на любой платформе: Linux, Windows, MacOS.

В DownThemAll можно выделить следующие особенности:

• Поддержка докачки — Так же как и предыдущий менеджер загрузок DownThemAll поддерживает докачку.
• Несколько загрузок сразу — DownThemAll может скачивать несколько загрузок одновременно и вы можете установить скорость для каждого из файлов.
• Автораспознавание — Плагин может автоматически распознавать ссылки для загрузки. Также вы можете выбрать пункт в меню скачать с помощью DownThemAll.
• Большое количество настроек.

Вы можете настроить плагин по своему вкусу, открыв Меню -> Плагины -> Расширения -> DownThemAll -> Настройки

Поскольку это плагин Firefox, вам не придется ничего менять в системе и он может быть установлен на любой платформе. Откройте addons.mozilla.org и наберите в поиске DownloadThemAll:

Дальше остается только нажать установить, и все, плагин готов к использованию.

Выводы

Все эти менеджеры закачек Linux очень похожи между собой и мало чем отличаются. Посмотрите их особенности и устанавливайте то что вам больше всего подходит. Есть и другие хорошие менеджеры загрузок, например, FareGet. Напишите в комментариях свой любимый менеджер загрузок.
