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 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. |
