官方主页:http://www.flareget.net16.net/ 这是一个类似uGet的下载软件,它是一个linux下的共享软件,基于Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License V3.0协议。共享的含义是可以免费使用它,但是有些扩展功能需要购买才能安装使用。共享软件不进入Ubuntu的官方软件源,但是在软件中心中可以找到它,安装之前需要在launchpad同意接受Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial License V3.0。
下面是软件中心中FlareGet的截图,你会看到“已购买”的字样,那只是软件中心的显示设置问题,已经安装的非自由软件(包括可免费使用的共享软件)都会显示这个标识。 FlareGet的作者宣称这是Linux下唯一支持多线程和分段下载的http客户端——这位作者显然不知道uGet的存在。与uget相比似乎要轻便一些——也许是因为它没有附带任何插件。FlareGet的插件正在陆续开发中,目前浏览器集成插件已经完成并提供下载,但是它是收费的,好在firefox用户可以利用flashgot或xthunder解决这个问题。
