Have you tried KGet? (http://kget.sourceforge.net/) I think it would
probably do what you're looking for, and should be included with most
recent distros that bundle KDE. I'm sitting at a Mandrake 10.1 machine
at the moment, and it was part of the default install. It also
integrates with Konqueror, which can be pretty handy.

I usually prefer wget, but I can see why some folks might prefer the
GUI version...

Best,

Zonker
