Description:

The download accelerator/manager for Kde Linux, with the beauty of Kde.

ATENTION!! If you are upgrading from the previus version remove the /home/$user/.doka file, but be careful if you have any important files the program won't know then and you must add to the same url and same location to resume the download, OR just finish your current downloads and install this new version.
This is because I didn't make a good save info system, if someone knows an easy way to use kconfig please send it to me! Thanks!

Features:
Support various connections.
More than one donwload at time.
Proxy support (with NO user/pass field).
Speed Limiter.
Restart downloads.
Resume downloads.
Read a list of Urls from a text file
Command line add. (eg. doka -u http://...tar.gz)
Easy Interface.
and more...

Not implemented yet:
Add more connections when the download is running/started.
Finish the implementation of mirrors feature.

To integrate with firefox/mozilla and others use the flashgot tutorial http://www.flashgot.net/features#customdm

Enjoy.

Hi everyone who is using doKa or at least is trying, there is lot of bug to fix, but I realised that is time to move to qt4. With qt4 I'll be able to do downloads with 'no size limit'... and more.
The development with qt4 started some day ago, I believe that really soon it will be the 0.2 version woking, and much better!
Qt4 rockys!!! It really faster and more powerfull, the porting is not that easy. And the entire code will be reformulated to use it... User that want metalink (I still don't know what it is..) will need to wait a little longer bug first ;-))
Thanks!

Could you possibly list this projects dependencies for those of us interested in packaging this for distros? Either here, or preferably on the project's homepage.

Hi, great tool!

Please add the ability to load a cookie file, as some sites, like RapidShare, require that my cookie is passed to their server.

I've put an example rapidshare HTTP header on your sf.net's feature request page.

Many thanks, and hope you can add this function.

Can you fix your versioning scheme? It's quite confusing because in the SF project page, there's a 0.1-rc1 tarball, here, there's a 0.1.1-rc2 tarball. And yet, the version number in this KDE-Apps entry is 0.1.1. So which one is it?

BTW, you just drop the RC tags since I doubt this is already at RC-quality. Also, if you have a 0.1-rc1 release, the next RC should be 0.1-rc2, if the version number itself changed, then you should use an alpha or beta tag rather than an rc tag. e.g.: 0.1.1-beta1, 0.1.1-beta2, 0.1.1-rc1, etc.

Anyway, just drop the RC tag.

Hi, thanks for reporting this. the thing is that my Internet connection is messed up, so I can't update the source forge version cause they use ftp for uploads and when I can upload I'm behind a proxy. Here I can upload through web http. the version stuff I really complicated things, you are right sould'nt be an 0.1.1-rc2 since the was no 0.1.1-rc1 the only rc1 was 0.1. The code is really imature so the release string is messed.
Thanks I'll update these things soon.

I have automake version 1.9.6-35 installed on my SuSE 10.2 system. Why is doka insisting on version 1.7?

No issue for me with automake1.9.
Just replace the "admin" folder with the latest kdebase one, and regenerate Makefiles with make -f admin/Makefiles.common
The build then goes nicelly with automake1.9

Thanks. I replace the admin carpet using the admin carpet of basket and I exec make -f admin/makefile.common, and compile now.
In opensuse 10.2 only remain exec ln -s /opt/kde3/lib/libkdeui.so /usr/lib/
and compile good.

Hi,

very nice program! Integration in Firefox works out of the box via Flashgot addon. Tested: works fine!

Till changed: Open src/frm_addwb.ui with QTDesigner and change the line to your preferred Download folder, then recompile.

tanks for the feedback, the -u url as you can see just call first the add download window... I add the feature of checks what is on Ctrl + C and it messed up with this option thanks it will be correct on the new release... soon..

Looks nice - and the GUI looks much better than the current kget gui.

However, there are some bugs: the configure dialog always has the default URL /home/daniel/download, so I need to change it every time. But
whenever I try push the "add" button, the program crashes (see below). If I reopen the program the added link is listed there, but it points again to /home/daniel/downloads.

Looks like hardcoded, you should change that to /home/$USER/. If I may give you an advice: create a new, different user on your machine, and test everything there, you will quickly see the problem.

As for people who can help you with the konqueror integration: check with the konqueror guys, they shure can help you. Also, check for the "make kget cool" commits in commit digest, there you will find people who are working at kget and might be able to help you with your alternative download program.


Anyway, here is the crash output:
