FTP client software on Ubuntu Linux

Similar to my problem hunting for a good download manager… I am yet to find a decent FTP client software on Ubuntu. I want something similar to SmartFTP. I have tried using Filezilla on Ubuntu and it is pathetic when compared to the version on the Windows platform. gFTP also does not feel right…

Ubuntu 10.10 is out and I love it already!

The new font is bloody awesome! It shows the new Indian Rupee Sign. I am not sure if this alone would excite the Indian government to go open-source but it should.

Loving it!

Wi-Fi in Ubuntu on Broadcom Chipset

The thread on the Ubuntu Forum is around 102 pages long. The thing just did not work on Dr. Abhishek Puri’s Lenovo Machine.

We tried everything. It just did not work. Sad. My Dell apparently has a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip. I get a feeling that I would face similar problems on it.

Ubuntu: Need a video converter which outputs a Zune compatible file

Microsoft Zune is practically useless on a Linux machine. In fact, I cannot find a video converter on the Linux platform which would output a file which would sync on a Zune without requiring any conversion…

Any help?

Aero vs. Compiz Fusion

I have to admit that Aero is more usable compared to Compiz Fusion. Maybe it’s me or just because I am yet to try Ubuntu 7.10 on this C2D 4GB RAM machine…

MultiGet: Decent file download manager for Linux

Thanks to some one who commented on one of my earlier posts. MultiGet has turned out to be the sanest download manager I have found on the Linux platform. Though it still has its annoyances compared to Flashget.

And I do not think it can log in to FTP servers for batch downloading.

NetHogs: A program to see bandwidth consumption Ubuntu Linux

I was searching for a software to see what application on my system is eating up the bandwidth… And I found a good one. It’s called NetHogs! There is another one I tried but could not get working. That one is BandwidthD.

Ubuntu 7.10 Beta

I am currently upgrading from my current Ubuntu Installation to Ubuntu 7.10 Beta. I hope I would still be online after the updating finishes!

Whoa. It requires a download of 1367 Megs. And it won’t resume? Looks like I am doomed!
