Steadyflow 0.1 Released!

Three weeks from idea to implementation, and the first release of the Steadyflow download manager is now available on Launchpad!

PPA packages for Lucid and Maverick will be available in the newly opened Steadyflow stable build PPA as soon as they finish building.

This release features:

  • A basic GNOME download manager, supporting all URL protocols known by GIO/GVFS. This includes, among others, HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and SMB.
  • Pausing, resuming, and restarting downloads upon application restart.
  • An application indicator, or a notification area icon for platforms without Ayatana libraries.
  • An instant search/filter box.
  • Ability to add downloads via the command line and D-Bus, for browser extension writers.
  • Notification bubbles upon starting and finishing downloads (can be disabled).

What it does not feature (yet):

  • A monochrome icon (planned for 0.2).
  • Filter by file types.
  • Different download folders for different file types.
  • Limiting download speed and number of files downloaded simultaneously.
  • Multiple download streams per file.

I’m actually not personally interested in implementing that last one, as I have a fast enough connection to render it irrelevant, so unless someone else gets to implement that, tough cookies.

I would like to thank:

  • The Vala developers, for patiently answering my questions about the language.
  • Everyone who gave feedback on earlier snapshots—in particularly the OMG! Ubuntu! users for testing and suggestions, and the GNOME design team for UI feedback.
  • Translators from Launchpad, for making Steadyflow multilingual right from the first release.
  • My beloved Alice, for inspiring me to start this whole project as a quirky expression of my feelings for her.

Hey this is really great! Do you have plans to make this more than just a download manager and perhaps a task monitor/manager where you can see the status of copying a file to another computer or the status of a cd burning, etc? From my understanding Google’s Summer of Code 2010 for Gnome did a TaskMonitor/Viewer that provided a backend writen c that worked with d-bus, but it was really buggy. In any case, great job.

Nice! I missed a program like this one. It kinda looks like Transmission which is a program I love. So… kudos.

Ahhh… :( Multiple download streams per file is the only reason I would use a download manager. Double sad :((

hi, nice looking download manager u got there. may i know what program you use as the back-end? or its simply use our internet connection speed? can you use any console-base download accelerator such as axel or aria2 as the back-end?

i really like the look of your software, and it certainly be better in my opinion if it got any of those good console-based download accelerator as back-end..

thanx

Jordan lorsque michael jordan intégra le monde de la nba en 1984, ce ne fut pas seulement le début d’une carrière sans égal, mais aussi

le début de la série célèbre ”Air Jordan” de nike. le fabricant d’articles de sport accorda toute

une série de chaussures et d’habits au basketteur doté apparemment de talents surhumain. cette série fit tout de suite sensation : l’

href=“http://www.aj-fr.com/3-air-jordan-1”;>Air Jordan 1 fut interdite par la nba puisque la combinaison des coloris noir/rouge ne

correspondit pas au “code vestimentaire” de la nba à l’époque. pourtant, cela ne put empêcher le succès mondial de cette sneaker unique.

au contraire : la chaussure de basket déclencha une véritable hystérie et est, dès lors, lancée dans une nouvelle édition chaque

année.jordan – plus qu’une simple chaussure de basket les spots publicitaires de jordan sont aussi innovateurs que les produits eux-

mêmes. au cours des années 80, avec spike lee alias mars blackmon, ils conquirent les écrans de la télé. aujourd’hui, les spots pour les

différents modèles d’air jordan sont toujours de vrais classiques sur youtube. de nos jurs, le jumpman ne se porte pas seulement sur les

chaussures : Air Jordan 3, Air Jordan

4, Air Jordan 5, Air Jordan 6,

Air Jordan 7, Air Jordan Spizike.

ils se distinguent par le design typique de la marque et convainquent par une excellente qualité et des matières hut de gamme. en 1997,

nike externalisa même la série de jordan : aujourd’hui, la marque de jordan développe ses propres produits, mais coopère néanmoins

étroitement avec nike. des joueurs comme carmelo anthony ou dwyane wade portent le jumpman dans la nba. ainsi, michael jordan reste

présent dans la meilleure ligue de basket-ball du monde. Obtenez les dernières Air
