$ apt-cache search download manager

has some interesting stuff. You didn't specify more concrete features
that you are looking for, so here is a quick selection:

aria - Tool to download files from the Internet via HTTP or FTP
d4x - graphical download manager
fatrat - multi-protocol download manager, feature rich and extensible via plugin
xul-ext-flashgot - Turns every supported download manager into a download manager for Firefox
epiphany-extension-gwget - Gwget extension for Epiphany web browser
gwget - GNOME front-end for wget
xul-ext-downthemall - iceweasel extension with advanced download capabilities
kget - download manager
metacafe-dl - download videos from metacafe.com (transitional package)
multiget - graphical download manager
tucan - Download and upload manager for 1-Click Hosters
uget - easy-to-use download manager written in GTK+2

Andrei

* Download a file in multiple, parallel chunks. [Axel can do this]
* Search for and use mirrors (there are various file search engines that
can tell you "File X is mirrored here, here and here" and you can
choose the closest/fastest).
* Handle Metalink files (so that a file can be downloaded from HTTP,
FTP, Bittorrent or a mixture of any of these).

Typically, the main use is to allow resuming of downloads, but of
course, Wget can do that.

Yes. But, I think you might try being less terse (and consequently more
verbose). Asking questions about specific interactions will probably get you
more useful information.

If they are using HTTP authentication, then put your username/password in the
URL you give to KGet. It's like http://usernameassword@host/path/to/file.

If they are using HTML Forms + Cookies for authentication, just login to the
site with Konqueror first. Konqueror and KGet use the same cookie jar.

This is the link,
which need username and password.
when I use kget, it's just stopped.

I don't know it's HTTP or HTML authentication.
I haven't installed the Konqueror and no attempts to install it.

Can it be set up in kget interface interface, I tried Settings but not work.

That link actually sends you a redirect. Then, the redirect URL
<https://ezproxylogin1.ntu.edu.sg/restricted/login.asp?logup=false&url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/23j63676550n0q45/fulltext.pdf>
uses HTTP authentication.

Add your username and password to the redirect URL like:
<https://usernameassword@ezproxylogin1.ntu.edu.sg/restricted/login.asp?logup=false&url=http://www.springerlink.com/content/23j63676550n0q45/fulltext.pdf>
and give that URL to KGet, hopefully that will get you the file. AFAIK,
KGet does not normally prompt for or store credentials, so you have to use
the URL syntax.

Unfortunately, I won't be much help with troubleshooting past that point ad I
don't have credentials for the NTU library.

I tried, it popped up saving as login.asp.

seems the last part ?logup=false&url="">> could not be recognized,

and the downloading stop there.

There is also some info. shows like below, did I miss something?

~$ QApplication::qAppName: Please instantiate the QApplication object first
kget is already running!
QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'qt_sql_default_connection' is still in use, all queries will cease to work.

What was in login.asp? KGet might not have been able to guess the file name
correctly but could have still downloaded the file. Those two operations are
not really dependent on one another.

But, if it didn't work, like I said, I really probably can't help you much
further.
