Rep:
I am sure you could have googled for this and also find
a good list of zindoze linux equivalent, one of this long list
is on LQ. Anyhow, if you find it post it here, too late, here it is: http://linuxshop.ru/linuxbegin/win-l...en/table.shtml
If you run KDE, start by trying KGet - you'll probably find it has all the features you need. Certainly it has pipelining and pause/resume (if the server supports resuming - most do), plus a drop-target a la FlashGet/GetRight.
This is just a GUI for the GNU downloader WGet, so I expect the GNOME equivalent has all these functions too.
