Is it possible to have multi-thread cURL with Flashgot in Ubuntu?

Question

I have found here that there is a multi-thread version of cURL downloader.

How to install it and can it be used with Flashgot?

I am not looking for other multi-thread downloaders, I already have Axel, Aria2, cURL, uGet and Wget in my flashgot list. I even have VLC there to open youtube in vlc if it strikes my fancy :) ... I just wanted to test a new option, that's all.

The latest version of uGet has cURL multi-connections built in without the need of a plugin.

I know you are already aware of uGet as you stated in your question but not sure if you're aware of the latest version new cURL features.

To get a multi-threaded downloader which integrates with FlashGot, you can install uget and aria2

sudo apt-get install uget aria2

Then, go to uGet's settings and enable the aria2 plugin.

uGet will also show up on FlashGot's list, where it can be selected for browser integration.
