I am regular user of flash get and i am happy with that. But recent times I am downloading lot of videos from youtube. Flashget doesn't support youtube downloads and I would like to write my own based on some open source download managers . Is there any open source download managers and free download manager which can support pluings/addons ?

It's a Firefox extension, but (the hideously named) DownThemAll. Dunno about plugins, though.

DownThemAll is good , But it can't split the downloads to make it fast to download – TuxGeek Oct 4 '09 at 7:23

You mean download different parts of the same file with different connections? Sure it can. Right-click on the download and select Misc → One More Segment. – wfaulk Oct 4 '09 at 7:27
Wow. Not even HTML character entities, huh? The default number of segments is confusingly titled "Max. number of segments per download" in the Advanced tab of its preferences. – wfaulk Oct 4 '09 at 7:34

→ entering the characters directly works fine, though. Who needs HTML character entities anyway? :þ – Joey Oct 4 '09 at 9:02
I don't really feel like memorizing the whole Unicode chart. – wfaulk Oct 4 '09 at 9:33

wget, the command line based (don't let that put you off, it just means you don't have to look through the GUI code when you're reading it, right?), GNU Download manager. There's an equally good windows version here, which quickly became my downloader of choice for any file larger than a few hundred megabytes.

JDownloader is the best for me. It supports addon like Firefox.

JDownloader is open source, platform independent, and written completely in Java. It simplifies downloading files from One-Click-Hosters like Rapidshare.com or Megaupload.com - not only for users with a premium account but also for users who don't pay. It offers downloading in multiple parallel streams, captcha recognition, automated file extraction, and much more. Of course, JDownloader is absolutely free of charge. Additionally, many "link encryption" sites are supported - so you just paste the "encrypted" links and JD does the rest. JDownloader can import CCF, RSDF and the new DLC files.
