Download Manager for Ubuntu that can open multiple HTTP connections

Solution 1:

Yes, there is. Run the following commands to install:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install aria2

Use aria2 basically just like wget. I believe the default number of connections is 4 but you can change this by using the -x flag followed by the number of connections you would like to make. For example, to make 8 connections:

aria2c -x 8 http://www.example.com/example.file

Also, you can use the DownThemAll extension for firefox.

Solution 2:

In addition to aria2, there is uGet which has a GUI as well as command line options.

Run the following commands to install uGet:

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

It can also use aria2 as a backend engine if you want.
