| etftp | 1.1.3 | GPL | The Enhanced Trivial File Transfer Protocol, RFC 1986, client/server. | ETFTP - Enhanced Trivial File Transfer Protocol. Adaptive transmission protocol for radio based data transmission. The idea of ETFTP as a project originated from RFC 1986 in which an experimental protocol for tactical radio is specified. On account of the increasing interest in data transmission over tactical radio, the code was finally donated to the National Defence Research Establishment, Dept. of Communication Systems, FOA 72, on condition that it was released under the terms of the GNU GPL. Please drop us an e-mail if you do use ``our'' etftp in any research and/or development... The code is an extension of W. Richard Stevens implementation of TFTP. For further reading, study his book "UNIX Network Programming" (ISBN 0-13-949876-1). See also RFC 998 (NETBLT) and RFC 1350 (TFTP) for more background and ideas...

| prozgui | 2.0.4beta3 | GPL | A GUI advanced Linux download manager. | This is the GUI version of Prozilla. It uses libprozilla and the the GUI is created and designed with The Fast Light Tool Kit (fltk). ProZilla is a download accellerator program written for Linux to speed up the normal file download process. It often gives speed increases of around 200% to 300%. It supports both FTP and HTTP protocols, and the theory behind it is very simple. The program opens multiple connections to several ftp servers hosting the same file, and each of the connections downloads a part of the file, thus defeating existing internet congestion prevention methods which slow down a single connection based download. |
| prozilla | 1.3.6 | GPL | A multithreaded download accelerator | ProZilla is a multithreaded download accelerator for Linux which supports both HTTP and FTP protocols. It makes multiple connections to the server and downloads the file in portions, thus giving a much better speed rate than the conventional download programs which use a single connection. Resuming connections is fully supported and customisable. |

| rsync | 2.6.0 | GPL | A program for synchronizing files over a network. | Rsync uses a quick and reliable algorithm to very quickly bring remote and host files into sync. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over the network (instead of sending the complete files). Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this package. Install rsync if you need a powerful mirroring program. |
| sendfile | 2.1a | GPL | Asynchronous file transfer service | Sendfile is an asynchronous file transfer service for the Internet, like the sendfile facility in Bitnet: Any user A can send files to another user B without B being active in any way. Sendfile which is an implementation of the SAFT protocol (Simple Asynchronous File Transfer) offers you a true asynchronous file transfer service for the Internet. Virtually any form of file can be sent, including encrypted ones. The sendfile package contains 5 main programs: sendfiled - the sendfile daemon which will be started by inetd sendfile - the sendfile client for sending files sendmsg - the send-message client for sending one-line text messages receive - the receive client for picking up already received files fetchfile - the O-SAFT client to obtain files from a remote SAFT server |
| sitecopy | 0.13.4 | GPL | Tool for easily maintaining remote web sites | sitecopy allows you to easily maintain remote Web sites. The program will upload files to the server which have changed locally, and delete files from the server which have been removed locally, to keep the remote site synchronized with the local site, with a single command. sitecopy will also optionally try to spot files you move locally, and move them remotely. FTP and WebDAV servers are supported. |
| torrentsniff | 0.2.0 | MIT | Reports status information of BitTorrent distributed downloads | TorrentSniff reports status information for a given torrent including the current number of complete copies (seeds) and incomplete copies (leeches) currently active.

| torrentutils | 0.3.0 | GPL or Artistic | Utilities for BitTorrent files | The torrentutils are a set of utilities for managing BitTorrent (`.torrent') files and interactiving with BitTorrent trackers. The torrentutils contain the following programs: torrenttool is a script that extracts and displays information from BitTorrent files, as well as testing and generating checksums for files listed in them. defrag is a script that defrags files simply by making a copy of the file. The original file is then replaced by the copy. Due to the fact that BitTorrent splits files in pieces, and downloads these pieces in random order, the downloaded files are often severely fragmented. This means that reading these files will be slower, sometimes as much as 30% slower. defrag can also recurse directories. torrentmcfs is a read-only virtual file system for Midnight Commander that can be used to easier access the information in a BitTorrent file. |
| urlget | 0.7 | GPL | UrlGet is a download manager that usesg gtk+2 | UrlGet is a download manager that uses gtk+2 User can classify URLs before downloading. Every category has independent configuration. Batch mode can generate URLs. Import URLs from .html files. Export URLs ( for wget -i ) |
