GNOME Transfer Manager

I'm excited to review GNOME Transfer Manager, a software that enables users to retrieve multiple files from the web with ease. With this program, retrieving multiple files in parts is possible, and each part can be retrieved on a separate session connected to the internet. This feature is particularly useful for users with dialup connections, giving them a smoother and faster file transfer experience.

Behind the program's operation is wget, which serves as its back-end. Additionally, the program is designed to support CORBA, making it simpler for other programs to use GTransferManager to handle the transfer of files from the internet. With this feature, users can enjoy seamless processes when transferring files.

Another exciting feature of the program is its applet that communicates with the program via CORBA. With the applet, launching the program, requesting for new downloads, or accepting drops of URLs from netscape, gFTP, gmc, and giving these URLs to GTM becomes easy.

To use this software, you need to have GTK+ version 1.2.x installed. Overall, GNOME Transfer Manager comes with an impressive set of features that make transferring files from the internet smooth and seamless, especially for users with dialup connections.
