Lailaps Download manager is a computer program designed to download files from the Internet, unlike a web browser, which is mainly intended to browse webpages on the World Wide Web (with file downloading being of secondary importance).

Goals:

create lightweight, cross-platform and fast downloader, which can handle large lists of downloads, while staying responsive and light.

Features

• low memory usage with huge lists
• responsive interface: Lailaps uses multi-threading to the maximum, your interface never hangs and your actions are always in high-priority
• possibility to work with any quantity of simultaneous downloads
• broad variety of engine settings (buffer, user-agent, FTP modes, etc.)
• proxy support
• Lailaps is cross-platform - Windows, Linux, Solaris - it's all the same for you
• customizable: just try and you'll see it yourself
• possibility to suggest your feature ;)

Special thanks to:

• Sun Java for great platform
• NetBeans for almost best IDE ever-made ;)
• HttpClient for HTTP and proxy support
• Jakarta Commons Net for FTP support
• Tiberium Shards for Components and tools
• Google Code for this project hosting
