Description Kai Mast 2010-03-13 14:09:16 UTC 
Theproblem i have right now with my gnome apps that I have several (although some don't belong to the gnome project directly) that basically download something from a remote machine. These are 
* epiphany (HTTP)
* empathy (different IM Protocols)
* nautilus (FTP)
* transmission (BitTorrent)
* gwget (also HTTP)

I would like to see a central download manager in gnome. Maybe just extending the one nautilus has become some releases ago to allow other applications to use it?

possibly a good Summer of Code project...

Has been tried before as SoC, never really worked.
Comment 3 Reinout van Schouwen 2010-03-15 09:10:36 UTC 
It was called Methusalem, IIRC. I think it did actually work but it wasn't picked up / finished and so it was forgotten.
Comment 4 Alexandre Franke 2011-01-06 20:06:24 UTC 
A newer SoC project has been done. It's TaskView from Salomon Sickert and he used the work done for Mathusalem. Since there's a bug report about TaskView, I'm closing this one as a duplicate.
