wmget is a dock app for the GNU Window Maker window manager which
makes it more convenient to perform long downloads in the background.

This is useful if you tend to have dozens of windows open at a time
and tend to do a lot of routine downloading. Just copy the link from
your browser, middle-click on the wmget dockapp, and the download will
start. No download windows or terminals required, and you can monitor
the progress and stop the transfer if desired without opening or
raising any windows or even changing desktops.
