Its a while now Im using linux (Lubuntu). Since the very beginning days DownThemAll was my only download manager here (maybe because i didnt find anything better). now just wanted to know is there any better and FASTER download manager out there for linux? I mean FASTER (its the most important aspect for me)

i heard things about FatRat, JDownloader, Prozgui. but which one is the fastest?

FlareGet is also good, but its not open-souce (in case of malware i never use closed-source)

    This is a very subjective question, and I don't think it can be answered properly. Please see this [question where download managers are discussed](http://askubuntu.com/questions/32850/can-someone-recommend-a-download-manager). –  Mar 17 '13 at 17:14

I'm using JDownloader. Startup time is not good, but overall performance and GUI is very good. From my perspective, the most important "features" are:

  • heavily maintained/updated (all the plugins/addons, new features)
  • stable
  • integrated with other programs (firefox's flashgot extension)

I've found following related articles:

The first one is nearly all about the command line download managers (nothing for me in this case). On the other hand, I tried "aria2" once. The second article's winner is prozilla.

So, give both of them a try (JDownloader, prozilla).
