I recommend to use aria2c, which is the most powerful metalink client.

It is a Factory package.


Really Really impressed!

One click install - done in a few minutes.
I'd already started a Firefox download of the latest 586 NET boot ISO -
which had been trundling in at under 100 KB/s. Aborted this and started
Aria2c on the same URL and it picked up the half-downloaded file,
checked it and finished the job steaming in at almost 400 KB/s

I won't be using anything else now...

Many thanks again, from some who's rarely moved to such paeans
