Anybody try this thing?
Jesus. Debian says it's a sign of things to come.
Wow, What a contrived bunch of command line crap it is right now!
They say the download manager is a little non-user-friendly right now,
and they are correct.I can only hope it gets better, like apt? perhaps?

Just my opinion. Flame me baby

I wouldn't need this thing except for the 2 SGI INDY's and the 1 Indigo
I have. We've installed IRIX on 1 of the INDY's and I guess it's OK but
6.2 is a little overwhelming for it and forget installing IRIX on the
Indigo, Yikes.

Just a snip;

One of these for each file in the ISO. 1377 of them in the first one! It
does remeber things though. You don't have to retype the URL each time
and It will resume a broken download where it was. So it has that going
for it.
