Does anyone know of a Linux equivalent to flashget?

Sure. At least for data files, like downloading those large iso files. Each distro usually has one included.

I use gftp.

What distro are you using?

SUSE 9.0, tried briefly Redhat 9.0 until I realised they had gone down the Gnome route and the applications I was using used KDE.

Thanks I'll check-out gftp.

Here's a link for anyone who maybe interested:

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/i586/gftp-2.0.15-35.i586.rpm

I just realised this is a Gnome application. Are there any KDE file download and recovery apps?

I use gftp with KDE all the time. However, you may also be interested in the following from KDE.news;

Thanks, an interesting site I wasn't aware of. I'll have another go at gftp although the it didn't work from the KDE desktop in my SUSE 9.0 setup. Do I need a some sort of link to a Gnome library, I'm slowly getting up to speed with Linux. ;(

d4x is one, it came with my SuSE 9.0

How abt kget ? Its the default for FC2. Is there anything better than kget ?
