flareGet 3.1-36, a full-featured, advanced, multi-threaded, multi-segment download manager and accelerator for Linux, has been released and is now available for download.
flareGet is one of the best GUI-based download managers on Linux at this time, and each version comes with major changes. It's been quite a while since the last update, and the version number has also changed significantly.

| FlareGet 3.1 |
In this article I will show you how to install FlareGet 3.1 on Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Pinguy OS, Elementary OS, Debian, Kwheezy, Crunchbang and their derivative systems.
Because it is not available via PPA, we have to download the archive containing the deb package for our architecture exactly, extract it and install the extracted deb package. I prefer gdebi over dpkg due to the fact that it also handles dependencies.
FlareGet Features
- Dynamic File Segmentation: Built-in robust dynamic file segmentation model, that used to split downloads into segments to boost the download speed. Also it uses Http-Pipelining which further increases the each segment.
- Intelligent File Management: A Built-in smart file management engine to automatically identify files based on their file extensions. All the downloads are arranged in different folders as per their grouping.
- Multi-Protocol Support : It supports HTTP, HTTPS and FTP protocols to download files from the web and also it supports metalink downloads.
- Speed Limits: You can set download limit speed for file downloads to avoid usage of full bandwidth.
- Limit Downloads: You can set limit on the number of simultaneous downloads, when one download finished, another starts automatically.
- Smart Scheduler : You can quickly schedule flareGet to download your files automatically. It also allows you to start/pause your downloads at the defined time.
- Batch Downloads : You can download a bunch of files from a text file (each link in separate line) or an html file.
- Enhanced Browser Integration : Easily integrated into all modern browsers such as Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, chromium, opera etc. to download files itself.
