Don't know about a separate port that provides a download manager (never went looking for one), but the kdenetwork port includes KGet which can be run either as a separate daemon that watches the KDE clipboard, or integrated as part of Konqueror. The few times I played with it, it was nifty. Reminded me of GetRight back when it was worth using. Then I got a fast Internet connection and haven't had to worry about download managers. :) -- Freddie Cash, CCNT CCLP Helpdesk / Network Support Tech.
