Download accelarators for Linux

I have tried the following two download accelarators in Ubuntu.
Further, I must say that these two are performing really well !

Multiget (Free):

MultiGet can split a single file upto 10 parts when downloading...
So, you will definitely get a higher download rate.

Multiget is available for Linux/Windows/MacOS/BSDs.

FlashGet (Free) - [Install on 'Wine']:

Even though FlashGet is available only for Windows, you will be able to use it in Linux after installing Wine [sudo apt-get install wine] :-)
Download FlashGet from here
(www.flashget.com was not available when I was posting this. So above download link directs you to Softpedia.com website)
