Bug#336165: RFA: d4x -- graphical download manager
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
Hi,
I am putting d4x up for adoption, because I'm no longer using it. Back
when I ITPed it, I used it on daily basis.
As this isn't true anymore, I tend not to see bugs and the package sometimes
propagates to testing with some really annoying bugs.
Moreover, I lack time these days, and there are a few wishlist bugs that are
really worth working on.
In a nutshell, you're the perfect maintainer for d4x if:
- you do (modern) C++
- you're used to GTK+/GNOME
- you download a lot of stuff here and there (read: you use d4x already or
will be using it soon)
- you have some free time to go through the wishlist bugs
Upstream is nice, friendly and usually responsive. d4x used to be non-free
when I first packaged it; the license got changed because I asked for it and
upstream did not really want to make non-free software. The Artistic license
did it.
If you are interested, please contact me; I'll happily sponsor a non-DD.
JB.
The package description is:
Downloader for X is a powerful graphical download manager.
It supports both HTTP(S) and FTP protocols and has nice graphical
user interface, though some actions can also be performed using
the command line.
.
Among others, its key features include proxy and SOCKS5 support,
recursive downloading, wildcard matching, download scheduler,
multiple download queues and more...
