If you are looking for a download manager for Ubuntu, we recommend Plowshare, one of the best download managers for Ubuntu.
Plowshare is a Software that makes it possible to download and upload files by using the command shell. The most popular servers are supported, as there are Megaupload, Rapidshare, 2Shared, Badongo, Mediafire, 4Shared, ZShare and DepostFiles.
To install the download manager, first we'll need to install teh right codecs by executing the following command:
sudo apt-get install curl librecode0 recode tesseract-ocr tesseract-ocr-deu tesseract-ocr-eng imagemagick
Now, we could visit the authors homepage, to see which is the lastest version available (today it's 0.8.1). Than we execute the following command (if we are installing a later version, we'd need to replace it):
wget http://plowshare.googlecode.com/files/plowshare-0.8.1.tgz
tar xvzf plowshare-0.8.1.tgz
sudo bash setup.sh install
Once Plowshare is installed, we can download files by using the command shell using the command plowdown and upload using the command plowup.
Here some examples:
plowdown http://rapidshare.com/files/289304031/ubuntu-blog.tar
plowdown listaDeLinks.txt
plowup nombreDelArchivoASubir megaupload

We are sorry...
You need QtRuby, RubyGTK or TkRuby to execute this program.
To solve this problem, we'll need to install the libgtk2-ruby package, executing the following command in a terminal:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2-ruby

Because of a comment we received from Silverwolf, in which he asked us, how to show what you are listening on Spotify, we started a research... and we found a plugin to get it done in Pidgin... (we are still looking for a solution to show what you're listening to on emesene)

As you surely know, or you'll get to know now... Frets on Fire is a free multiplatform game, which we can use to turn our keyboard into an electric guitar and feel like Jimi Hendrix, playing it... the original version of the game is really well done, but after playing for a while we felt like tuning or pimping it a little... so we started a desperate search in the world wide web, to find a way to upgrade the game... and we found it...
Ladies and Gentlemen, we're proud to introduce "mod MFH"! ...
