Tools for Downloading Stuff from the Internet

You can get a variety of software, music and movies from the Internet. Some of them are legally okay to download like open-source software and free publications, but there are things you're not legally allowed to download, such as most music and movies. However, with the increasing availability of high-speed Internet and P2P software, the Internet is exponentially growing in the number of downloadable stuff.

There are so many software for downloading stuff from the Net, but only a few good ones are listed here.



  • amule

    Multi-platform program for downloading from ed2k or Kad networks.
  • aria2

    Command-line tool for downloading from Web, FTP, Bittorrent and Metalinks. Very Light , Fast and Efficient.
  • eMule

    Old-school ed2k client for downloading from eDonkey or Kademlia networks.
  • Frostwire

    Limewire clone that allows you to download from Gnutella or Bittorrent network.
  • gtk-gnutella

    Open-source Linux/*BSD client for Gnutella network.
  • HalogenWare Retriever

    Java software for downloading from HTTP, FTP, Bittorrent and Metalinks.
  • MLDonkey and Sancho

    Yet another eDonkey client
  • Phex

    Gnutella client that keeps getting better
  • Transmission bittorrent client

    I like to compile transmission-daemon and use it with a GUI frontend, such as transmission-remote-gui
    and transmission-remote-dotnet.
  • wxDownload Fast

    simple wxWidgets application that lets you quickly download from FTP and HTTP. Read my guide to compiling it here.


Once you have P2P software installed, you'll want to know more about how to search for files on the Internet. The following is a list of search engines for P2P users.
