    Hey guys

    I installed the Kget download manager the other day. However, Konqueror does not automatically launch it when I want to download something. Instead, I have to drag a download link target into the Kget window to download with Kget.

    While there is nothing wrong with this, I was just wondering if there was a way for Konqueror to launch Kget automatically?

    It works for me, strange that is. Sure you're using the same KDE versions of Konqueror & Kget?

    Kget version 0.8.5
    Konqueror version 3.5.2

    Kget doesn't come with Kubuntu by default, so I had to apt-get it.

    [ot]KGet seemed too flakey for my taste. I usually use Firefox with the DownThemAll! plugin, or barring that just go old-school and use the no-nonsense wget.[/ot]

    Ah good point! BTW, is there a GUI for WGET?

    From apt-cache: gwget - GNOME front-end for wget

    Cheers :)
