It seems that you're looking for download manager.
I use pavuk (console and gui), which also does http. Two other
dual-purpose downloaders are the popular wget (console only, but you can
get a fistful of front-ends for it) and aria (gtk-only). I like pavuk
because it's intelligent enough to let you start multiple instances of
it. With wget, accidentally starting two instances of the same download
can result in horrible file corruption. pavuk has file-locking
capablities that prevent one session from interfering with another.
