Does anyone know of a good http downloader for Sabayon?

Thanks.

Try wget from the command line : http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/index. ... troduction

Or kget if you want a GUI : http://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial ... .asp&guid=

Hope that helps!

I've tried to install wget and I followed the install.txt but it doesn't work. It still puts an executible file in my bin directory but when i try to run it nothing happens. Any ideas?

Thanks.

wget is already installed in Sabayon, both on the CD miniedition and on the full DVD. Kget is installed on the DVD version out of the box.

To run wget, it's just :

wget http://www.someurl.com/files/somefile

Kget is pretty much, click on a download link.

To install kget if it isn't on your system : emerge kget
