"wget"

For all of those who are new to Ubuntu Linux, there is a free,non interactive downloader package. Unlike IDM's or Orbit, you don't get to see a GUI in wget. all you do is run terminal, and type in wget. The syntax of wget is:
wget http://www.someurl.com/somefile.txt

For eg: I need to download a file say abcd.pdf from website http://www.xyz.com, so the url would look something like this:
"http://www.xyz.com/abcd.pdf", copy this url, and type "wget http://www.xyz.com/abcd.pdf" (without quotes) in your terminal window and hit enter, this will download the pdf file in your "Home Folder"

Do it yourself, run terminal, type in
" wget http://www.asel.udel.edu/speech/tutorials/acoustics/wsq_ap7.wav", and see what happens.


Enjoy downloading!!!
