+uget (download manager with GTK GUI)
+
uGet is a Free and Open Source download manager.
It allows for queuing downloads, file type-based classification of
downloads, and is lightweight.
-Optionally, uget can be compiled with support for the optional dependency
-aria2. This is autodetected at build time. You can forcibly disable
-aria2 support by passing ARIA2=no to the script.
+By default, uGet uses curl for downloads. If desired, uGet can use aria2
+instead. To do this, install aria2, then launch uGet and choose "Edit =>
+Settings => Plug-in => Plug-in matching order", and select "aria2". There's
+no need to rebuild uGet after installing aria2: it's an optional run-time
+dependency.
+
+uGet can be compiled without support for notifications, since some users
+find them annoying. To do this, pass LIBNOTIFY=no to the script.
-uGet can also be compiled without support for notifications. To do this,
-pass LIBNOTIFY=no to the script.
+uGet can also be compiled without support for gstreamer. This will stop
+the "Sound when download is finished" option from working. To do this,
+pass GSTREAMER=no to the script.
If you're upgrading from uGet 1.x, run "uget-gtk-1to2" to convert your
old settings in ~/.config/uGet to the format used by uGet 2.x.
+
+The status line at the top of the uGet window is intended to announce new
+releases of uGet, but it's currently "stuck" and claims that 2.0.8 is a
+"new stable release". Upstream is working on the problem; please just
+ignore the status line for now.
