Description Emre 2006-11-24 13:41:41 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Site Specific options can be gathered easily by looking at the implementation in other download managers (like Free Download Manager, Flashget)

For example, FDM includes in its site manager:
- Name of Site
- Checkbox if USername/Password is required
- Maximum # of simultaneous connections
- Default group of download
- FTP Mode (passive/active)

I guess in Flashget, you can also specify, Site Specific Proxy server settings (HTTP/HTTPS/Socks etc.)

Thank you...

Great idea. Can't wait for this feature to be implemented.

actually downloader for X supports site specific settings but I really dislike the gtk+ interface. I think it's a bit of a shame kget still doesn't support this feature.
