Download manager for Chrome

uGet is a download manager for Chrome which uses aria2, a command line download client, to speed up downloads. uGet supports segmented downloads which can generate a massive increase in download speed. In fact, we can reach the maximum bandwidth available using uGet. It can also serve as a true test for bandwidth capacity.  The best feature of uGet is that it can be integrated into Chrome (also Firefox) using a plugin from the Chrome Web Store. However, the Chrome Web Store plugin will not be able to find uGet unless the uget-integrator is installed first. The steps to integrate uGet into Chrome as a download manager are as follows. These commands work for Debian systems. For other Linux systems, the steps remain the same, only the commands would be different. 1. Install uGet and aria2 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:plushuang-tw/uget-stable sudo apt update sudo apt install uget sudo apt install aria2 2. Install uGet-integrator sudo add-apt-repository ppa:uget-team/ppa sudo
