Linux Download Manager

I've been asked this a couple of times in IRC channels as to whether there is a download manager for linux... and the answer is usually a "yeah ofcourse, this is linux". The download manager that I use is Uget, and it works pretty well for my purposes which is fairly basic (download, pause, resume). I remember that when I was on the Windows and Mac, I had to purchase this type of software, however, on Linux it's FREE. Love it.

To install it, and like with most packages, open up a terminal session and type in:

 sudo apt-get install uget 

And, that's it.

I'll add some screenshots later.
