Can you recommend a good modern GUI download manager (wget wrapper?)

I'm trying to find a good download manager that can open concurrent connections for a single download.

I don't mind whether it's an extension (I'm using chrome), or an independent application.

I have downloaded steadyflow, but it doesn't seems to have an concurrent connections option.

Add the packages uget and aria2. Start uGet then go to settings and enable the aria2 plugin, this is needed for multi-threaded downloads. You'll need to manually specify the number of connections when you add new downloads, but other than that little annoyance it's a great app.

I am having problems whitelisting the indicator icon for this app, however, and need to minimize to the dock instead. Unity-2d-panel has more problems with indicator icons than the standard unity-panel so it may not affect you. I'll report back if i find a way to resolve this.

You can try out flareGet ( a recently released download manager for linux). It is still in the alpha stage but works pretty good. It is multi-threaded and supports upto 16 segments per download for download acceleration. For browser integration you can use flashgot.
