> some related SVN logs:
> Started work on metalink support. Not functional yet though.
> More work on metalink support. A lot of things still missing.

> week 1:

> "I did however find the time to come up with a name for the Modern
> Download Manager I'll be working on. It's - GGet! I know, not very
> creative, but it works and is short! :-) I also spent some time
> setting up some infrastructure:

> - Blog (http://blogs.gnome.org/johans/)
> - Wiki (http://live.gnome.org/GGet)
> - SVN repo (http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gget)

> week 4:

> "This week I've been working on hooking up the metalink module into my
> GUI. There has been some problems (like one can expect when using
> threads) but now I've got a basic download working."

> week 5:

> "This week I didn't work on the things I planned to (pause/resume,
> speed/eta calculations). But I did talk to the author of the backend
> I'm using and he told me these are things he will implement shortly
> so, I'm leaving that for him since he knows that code much better.
> Instead I've been working more on the GUI:
> - The window geometry and position are know stored in gconf.
> - Implemented the ui for adding custom download folders based on file
> extensions.
> - Added posibility to select which columns in the download treeview to show.
> - Implemented drag & drop of URLs to start downloads.
> - The add download dialog now looks for an URL in the clipboard which
> is then filled in automatically.
> The coming week I'll start working on saving download information
> between sessions and add notifications on completed downloads using
> libnotify."

> week 6:

> "I did however manage to implement support for http, https and ftp proxies
> and start on the session saving, but thats about it. I also received
> good news from the guy maintaining the backend I'm using - he has
> implement support for bitrates and pausing. So thats what I'll be
> looking into once the session stuff is done."
