KDE 4.0 and KGet 2.0 and Metalinks

KDE 4.0.0 is out! Wow, this huge update to the KDE desktop is really
nice, and promises to mature rapidly. KDE 4.0 is available for many
distributions, check the release announcements. Once KDE based
distributions start including KDE4, people will have a built in
Metalink client.
