Downloader For X (or simply D4X) is a download manager/accelerator for Unix-like systems. It is open source software released under the Artistic licence. It can pause and restart downloads at any time, and utilises both the HTTP and FTP protocols. It can limit download speeds to free bandwidth for other uses.

The project seems to be dead. Since it's using the obsolete Artistic License 1.0, which FSF doesn't consider to be free, it could be removed from Linux distributions with strong license policies (such as Fedora, see [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Artistic1Removal Artistic 1.0 Removal] for details).
