Download Manger for Mandrake 10

[coopns]

I use Mandrake 10 and when I download a program my
download manager(?) "ark" I think asks me about dependancies
and do I want to download load those as well.

Using Mandrake 10, could or should I use one of these...Why, whynot, are they better?

apt-rpm - http://freshmeat.net/projects/apt-rpm/
RPM-get - http://freshmeat.net/projects/rpm-get/
apt4rpm - http://apt4rpm.sourceforge.net/

Mandrake is set up to use urpmi - it's very own dependency resolving thing.

download manager is something that handles all your downloads[duh..] One kind of them is kget, which comes with kde. many windows users use getright, flashget and download accelerator plus and linux users seem to like d4x -- downloader for X

ARK is a file extraction utility, something like WinZIP.

Dependancies in MDK are handled by its own package management utility -- MDK's flavour of rpms(Red-Hat Package Management System[becos MDK is based on RH])

May I know again what you are asking for?

I am just trying to sort this stuff out, and this is a great help.

What are some other popular extraction utilities besides ark? I like ark because I am slow on the command line and ark allows me to click...right click.

So is it ark or Mandrake's package manager that says what dependencies are missing and then downloads them?

Thanks.
