VisualWget is a download manager that use Wget as a core retriever to retrieve files from the web. You can think of VisualWget as a GUI front-end for Wget that give you all of Wget functionalities (e.g. download resuming, recursive download) plus little management features such as download queue (prioritizing), speed limit and scheduler. When retrieving a file, VisualWget gather some necessary informations by communicating with Wget, then compute and display a progress bar, speed and ETA within a jobs list that you can easily see and estimate an overall progress by yourself.

Firefox Integration ^
To integrate VisualWget with Mozilla Firefox, please do the following.
1. Install FlashGot add-on.
2. Select Tools>FlashGot>More Options...
3. Under General tab>Download Manager, click Add.
4. When prompted for name, enter "VisualWget".
5. When prompted to locate the executable file, go to VisualWget folder (usually "C:\Program Files\VisualWget <version>\") and select "VisualWget.exe".
6. Use only "[URL]" as an arguments template and VisualWget will use the default download properties. (VisualWget accept only long options, i.e., --continue not -c.)
7. Click OK to close FlashGot Options.
Unfortunately FlashGot does not support using quotes within the arguments template so you can not enter an option that require an argument which containing space character e.g. you can not use something like this in the arguments template
--directory-prefix="C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\"
Instead of "Documents and Settings" use "DOCUME~1", the 8 character DOS names obtained from command "dir *.* /x". (Thanks to wilsonmar)
