Would look much better IMHO. Looks very nice, but for the 2nd screenshot (TransferHistory), why not just make a toolbar (with text) of the buttons/search field? Would look much better IMHO.

Webinterface: That's pretty cool for advanced-users, they can control kget over the internet... And I think KGet is cool, because: 1) It's easy to use 2) It's nice 3) It supports much ways to download things KIO: As user, you don't have to know it, it's only for Programmers, which can download things inside a program with it... Hope that helps you and you understand kde... Lukas Hey!

3) It supports much ways to download things

KIO: As user, you don’t have to know it, it’s only for Programmers, which can download things inside a program with it…

Hope that helps you and you understand kde…

What can it do for me to make my life easier? And how does having a web interface for it make it even more awesome? I don't dispute the fact that it is awesome, I just don't know how to use it, what it's paradigm is, or much else about it. I certainly am curious though. Links to info, screencasts, and raw info appreciated! P.S. - I've been looking at KDE for several months now, but I never really *got it*, KDE 4 looks amazing, but it also seems to me that there are KDE ways of doing things which I just don't quite understand (KIO, etc.) Please help!

Sounds good, even though commandline pacman is good enough for me. Arxin sounds even better, not having to find & edit the files is a good thing ;-) Keep up the good work on KGet, it's a great app!
