KGet is the download manager for KDE. It manages your transfers in a window. You
can stop, resume, delete, queue, and add transfers. Start KGet from the main menu or
by pressing Alt + F2 then entering kget.
When KGet is started for the first time, you can choose to have it integrated with Kon-
queror. If you integrate KGet with Konqueror, KGet is added to the system tray as an
icon with a downward arrow. Click this arrow to view KGet transfers.

16.1 Adding Transfers to the List
To add a transfer, click File > Paste. Specify a URL then click OK. Finally, select where
to save the downloaded file. The entry for the transfer is added to the main window of
KGet and the download starts. Another way to add a transfer is to simply drag a file
(for example, from an FTP server) from Konqueror and drop it in the main KGet window.
