The uGet system is useful for use as a background utility that you keep on all the time. By setting it up to automatically detect downloadable files in Web pages, you can cut out the fiddly business of locating a file yourself in the code and copying it into the tool. The ability to queue up downloads makes it a little like a torrent downloader and means you can set up a whole series of shows to download and then get on with other tasks.
FlareGet operates a lot like a torrent downloader only using just one source for each file. However, it has broken link recovery, pause and resume, and multi-thread downloading, so it feels a lot like using uTorrent. This is a GUI system, so you would need to be using a GNOME distro of Linux to use it. A background process will spot YouTube videos when they load into your browser and offer to download them.

Persepolis lets you queue up downloads and leave the tool to progress through its tasks. The style of the interface is a lot like using a torrent client but behind the scenes, you are only transferring the file from one source. This is a multi-threaded downloader.
The latest version of MultiGet operates like a torrent client. It is able to seek out segments of the same file from different sources. Those segments will be downloaded simultaneously and assembled into one file. The system allows you to pause and resume individual downloads and it will also load URLs directly from the Clipboard.
Even if you are not downloading with torrents, the downloader has the capability to source segments of files from different servers, download them all simultaneously and assemble them all into one unified file. The multi-thread architecture will automatically divide any file into segments and download those sections simultaneously even if they are all coming from the same server. A series of files can be scheduled into a download queue that is shown in the kGet interface.
