Like we told you yesterday, here is this week's poll: the best Linux download manager. The contenders are: jDownloader, axel, aria2, wget, FatRat, SlimRat, Uget, Tucan and Kget. That's right, this time we have 3 command line tools among the poll options (even though only aria2 is an actual download manager, but wget and axel can serve as download managers too).

Slimrat is a Linux download manager which can download files from the following online file hosting services: rapidshare, megaupload, metafire, easyshare, czshare, datahu, depozitshare, fastload, fastshare, filefactory, filehive, freakshare, hotfile, sharebase, youtube, zshare and many other including a direct download if there is no plugin available for a certain service.

Slimrat is lightweight, it can download multiple files and once and comes with both a GUI and a CLI. Another very interesting Slimrat feature is the automatic captcha solving based on an tesseract-ocr library.
