I just wanted to make sure that I understood what he is talking about before
responding.

I never really liked the way Downloader for X works. It just didn't impress me.
However, I do like this one: http://www.kfa.cx/products.php?product=Enqueue

The code is nice and clean and does not require a hundred different libraries to
compile - just GTK. If you read the news on the top level page (kfa.cx) you will
find that they even have a Debian repository for you.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
than it is at making good operating systems.  -- Linus Torvalds
