New 'Steadyflow' Download Manager for Ubuntu
Steadyflow is a new download manager for Ubuntu that uses a simple 'Transmission' like interface and has a impressive list of features.
- A basic GNOME download manager, supporting many URL protocols. This includes, among others, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and SMB.
- Pausing, resuming, and restarting downloads upon application restart
- An application indicator, or a notification area icon.
- An instant search/filter box.
- Ability to add downloads via the command line and D-Bus, for browser extension writers.
- Notification bubbles upon starting and finishing downloads (can be disabled).
Planned Features:
- A monochrome icon.
- Filter by file types.
- Different download folders for different file types.
- Limiting download speed and number of files downloaded simultaneously.
- Multiple download streams per file.
Stable Version:
Run following commands in the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sikon/steadyflow
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install steadyflow
Daily Builds Version (not for casual users):
Run the following commands in the terminal:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sikon/steadyflow-daily
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install steadyflow
Now we just have to wait for someone to write browser extensions for this.
