Ubuntu :: Solution For Best Download Experience

For some reason, my downloads on Windows are really slow no matter what download accelerator I use. I've tried IDM, FDM , DAP , DAM , Orbit , Supersonic , jDownloader - they all have some problem . Sometimes the files just halt and refuse to be downloaded.
Warning : Not For Advanced Users!
On Ubuntu though I have found a wonderful solution that sees me all the time maxing out my download connection and often exceeding it with absolutely no problems.

Here's the combination :
Aria 2 + Flashgot.
I will show you how to set it up, how to configure it and how to pause , resume downloads.
That's all one needs!

1. To get started , let's download Aria 2.
Fire up a terminal and enter
Code:
sudo apt-get install aria2

2. And now Flashgot : Install the add-on from this site: [URL]
Close Firefox

3. Now to choose Aria 2 as the default download manager
Open Firefox
Tools
Flashgot -> More Options -> General Tab and select Aria 2.

4. Now in terminal:
Code:
cd
mkdir .aria2
Now create a file called aria2.conf inside .aria2( which is a hidden folder can be viewed by pressing Ctrl+H in the Home Folder)
Code:
cd .aria2
gedit aria2.conf

5. Open the file and type split=100 on the first line. That does it . Now to download anything say for example a video from ..... : [URL] in the bottom right corner click the flashing icon ( Flashgot Media) or alternatively go to Tools->Flashgot->Flashgot Media

6. Your download will start after selecting a download folder. A window will open which will display progress. To Pause , press Ctrl+C.

7. To resume open History, navigate to the page and again click 'Flashgot Media'
The file will resume.
