I need a download manager like Flashget or getright but can't find any. Searhed the forum before posting. Downloaded the Fennec browser but no addons. Any non-command line ones (GUI applet/addon/plugin) available? Need it to accept '?' in the URL too.

BTW Any other browsers that are recommended?

Thanks

You have a couple of chances: httrack and wget.
The first one comes handy if you want to download an entire web site, the second one is a full featureed download manager (can download sites as well).
they both are command line tools: install them with apt-get.
Reamember that also Microb has its tiny download manager: if you press the close button when downloading, you close the window but the download dooesn't stop.

Pay attention to the urls with the "?": they could be dynamic pages, not that easy to handle...

Thanks Fabbro. I was looking for GUI one to manage my lists too but will give those a shot. I ended up emailing myself the links.

I assume Microb and Fennec (useless but good potential) are the only browsers available now or in the near future.

Maybe you're thinking about something like this
http://live.gnome.org/GGet

and here with some screenshots:

gget ist written in python so it could be possible to run this on maemo.

check out tear...

its highly beta right now tho, barely able to download anything at all...

Thanks bongo and tso, I have to install and play with them tonight. Look promising.

i'm sorry i didn't get the point you were searching for a gfx download manager.
well, if you dare you can follow this thread:
http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=24272
and install a chrooted debian.
it's easier to do than to explain.
once the chrooted enviroment is ready (and after you have run "apt-get update", read carefully the faq) you'll have a whole new world of software, and choosing your gfx dwld mngr will be only a matter of personal tastes (i think d4x is a good one).

Thanks fabbro. That looks the biz and have to check out that DL manager too. Got the N800 recently and I have to free up some memory though as running out due to installing too many apps. I have to search the forum now on how to boot and/or double boot from the big SD card.

These things could do with a lot more apps and shells/skins. Remember the unworthy Apple Newtons in the early 90's? I spend half my time searching the streamtuner's shoutcast for cool music/talk radios, that is the best but could do with a shell too. Like the normal radio on N800 too as well as the light weight and the 2 SD card slots. For the odd typing a rollout (yoga mat style) flexible mini keyboard would be nice but the mini flexible KBs though cheap/light are still too big and the smaller ones are just numeric. Big business potential for the Chinese manufacturers as a true mini flexible KB will sell like hot cakes to the iPhone clan alone. I need to find the blow up one I saw last year.

Thanks again and to all those who contributed.

there is a 20+ MB video floating around in the video dir of the tablet, and also a lot of pdf manuals in different languages.

Thanks tso, already binned them. Chasing up double-boot now.
