nt, d4x - A download manager for X
SYNOPSYS
nt [OPTIONS] ... [URL]
DESCRIPTION
nt (also known as Downloader for X) is a Linux GUI program
for downloading files from the Internet. It supports FTP
and HTTP (not completly yet but the current implementation
is quite enough for downloading). The program will resume
interupted downloads if the server supports it too. nt is
like kget for Linux and ReGet or GetRight for Microsoft
Windows (tm).
OPTIONS
Options are distinguished from URLs in that they begin
with a minus sign (-). One may specify any number of
options and URLs.
Many of the options can be used to control a pre-existing
instance of nt. When nt finds an instance of itself
already running, it will forward the command to the
already running instance for execution. If there no pre-
existing instance is found, then it will perform the
requested operations itself.
The command line will be parsed from left to right. This
means that the requested operations will be performed in
that order.
nt accepts the following options:
URL Add the indicated file to the download queue. A
dialog box will appear in which you can indicate
where the file should be saved and set other
options. If nt is already running, then the new
instance will simply ask the existing instance to
add the file and then it will exit. If existing
instance already have this URL in queue in inactive
state than it will be moved to *wait* state.
-h, --help

options and exit.
-v, --version
Show the version number and exit.
-i, --info
Show basic information about current state of a
pre-existing instance of the program.
-s, --speed
Show current achieved download speed of a pre-
existing instance of the program. The speed is a
part of information which is displayed by --info.
--minimized

state. This will not minimize a pre-existing
instance of the program.
--exit-time minutes
Set the timeout for exiting when the program is
idle.

Switch to low speed.
-t2, --traffic-medium
Switch to medium speed.
-t3, --traffic-high

-d, --directory PATH

instance by running the nt command with URLs on the
command line.
-c, --delete-completed
Remove completed downloads from the queue.
-r, --rerun-failed
Rerun all failed downloads.
-w, --without-face
Start Downloader without X interface. (It will
display the log on stdout but there will be no user

is by running nt with appropriate options.)
-m, --max-running integer
Set the maximum total number of active downloads
for current queue.
--ls [integer | URL]
Display tree of queues, queue listing or informa-
tion about separate URL.
--switch integer

if this option is specified.
