Bug#621128: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ suggests proprietary download managers



Thanks for the notice. I agree with this opinion.
Another possible solution (or even additional) -- point people to the
comparison of download managers [0].

 0 : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_download_managers

On this page lists download managers which compared by:
 * License
 * Interface (CLI / GUI)
 * Platforms (Linux / Windows / Mac OS)
 * Also presented supported by DMs protocols and their features.

With this link people will have freedom of choice of programm.
So patch can looks like this (attached).
