In the last few days I was thinking about a new download application for GNOME. Why? Gwget codebase gets older and difficult to maintain. Also, as his name says, his concept is only a wget grafical front-end.
The idea behind a new program it’s to be modular, so it could download from many protocols (http/https, ftp, scp, bittorrent, metalink, etc.) and with a modern api that the rest of the platform could reach with easy.
I also know that there are another program, Gget but it seems that the project doesn’t progress too much. Why not help them? To be honest it’s in python and I don’t known it very well…
What do you think about ?
