Here I present some of the best Downloaders available for Linux based OS-es.



1. Gwget

Both the above softwares use 'wget' as it's backend. It is great for simple downloads. Will not accelerate downloads.

Axel is a very good download accelerator. It supports multiple connections and has a KDE interface also. The main axel binary is command line and does great work on it's own.
