True.

I have tried "wxdfast" with this release metalink, and it seems nice, but 
it was unable to download anything at all. It doesn't have an online help, 
nor man or info, no html doc. Hold on, there is a man page, but for some 
unknown reason, it doesn't work for me - ah, because it installed to 
/usr/local/share/man, instead of /usr/local/man. Anyway, it didn't work, 
it is probably in early development stages. Next time perhaps.

So, I switched to aria2c from guru, and that one worked instantly and 
fast, maxing my adsl throughput. Very effective, though no eye candy. Pity I 
couldn't compile it myself earlier.

The trick, by the way is editing the configure script:

  min_xml_version=2.6.23
# min_xml_version=2.6.24

Works fine, too :-)
