Download manager package ?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, can anyone make an opk package for a download manager such as Download 
Daemon or similar downloader ?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/downloaddaemon/

Thanks in advance!

I can give it a try. I'll probably have to leave out the web interface though. 
It needs php. 

Most of these downloaders seem to have annoying dependencies or are resource 
hogs.

That's nice! Thanks!
The downloader you will choose to make it opk, can be controlled by a GUI 
remote software (Graphical User Interface) instead of web interface that needs 
php ?

For example, the DownloadDaemon can be controlled remotely by ddclient-gui.exe 
from windows.

ok ..got DownloadDaemon to run after some fiddling around. It definitly fits 
into the resource hog category though.. it uses about 60MB memory at startup. 
Will try a few things to get memory usage down a bit and then package it up. 

Another downloader is pyload (http://pyload.org/). Last time I tried it under 
snake the web interface was really unresponsive though. Maybe the remote gui 
would work better.. I didn't try that.

Hello
Is available the pyload as an opk file?
Thanks

Nope..

I hope I got everything sorted out for dd though:

Memory usage is more reasonable now. I only tested it with rapidshare. Well and 
youtube ..but that didn't seem to work.

DownloadDaemon 1316 worked just fine for me too!

Thanks a lot!
I would like to make you a small paypal donation for the time you spend for me. 
Do you have any link?

Don't worry about that..

I ran into a problem btw.. don't change the configuration from ddclient. That 
seems to nuke the config file. You'd have to reinstall the package to fix that.

I won't change anything. It works just fine as it is!

Ok, it should be working in this version though.

I copied the unrar binary to my /usb/sda1 root folder 
(http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/downloads/detail?name=unrar&can=2&q=unrar).

I followed the instructions of "Q: How can unrar files? Can I leave ssh session 
during unrar?" and I successfully extracted the content of a *.rar file I had 
put on the 'downloads' folder (http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/wiki/FAQ).

The question is: can I use the unrar binary to automatically extract downloaded 
rar files from downloadDaemon ?

The DownloadDaemon has the autoextract option but I think it works only with 
winrar binary.

DownloadDaemon GUI -> configuration -> package extractor -> Enable Package 
Extractor.

You'd have to edit /opt/etc/downloaddaemon/downloaddaemon.conf and set 
"unrar_path" to the path of the unrar binary.

Running this via ssh should take care of that:
sed -i s%"^unrar_path.*"%"unrar_path = /usb/sda1/unrar"% 
/opt/etc/downloaddaemon/downloaddaemon.conf
