Lets be clear on what we expect v1 to be able to do. No more, no less.

My suggestions:
1. Insert URL in text field of software and it downloads it for you.
2. Just 5 threads. Not modifiable.
3. Only simple HTTP direct downloads.

I think this is a good starting point. Deadline: 14th Feb. :P

Ya .. I agree. Should we decide the module ... So that it'll be easy
for us to assemble it at last.

good idea!! lets start then!!

Achcha one more thing!!
I ll like all the people contributing to add proper comments (with
full description)

1. Put comments wherever possible
2. Make as modular as u can ( that would be necessary)
3. Do mention your credentials in the module( even if its just a
function)

Param, but sometimes there are many links on the same web page.
Like 2 videos on one webpage (one URL).
If in software we put only URL it will be confusing to software to
grab which one.
Actually on web page, these all are objects and HTML page contains
reference to all these objects.
So we need to identify in which particular object we are interested
in.
Please correct me if i am wrong :)

Sachin that will no longer be necessary LDM will download only those
link that user will ask it to download.
What you are talkin about is the site grabber , that will also be
required but currently we are just workin on downloading in parellel.
If you are willing to develop a site grabber please propose the
module.
To Everyone ,
Please don't start working on code without proposing the module ,
It'll help others to add or give suggestion on your module & other's
will also be able to work with you.Hopefully each one of us will
maintain his own integrity on this group.

Hello Everyone ,
I hope you all have started working on LDM .
In that regard I have a very important link that I'ld like to share to
you all.
It's a multithreaded HTTP download accelerator , as this entire code
is in C their won't be any problem.
