# Introduction

`GTransferManager` allows the user to retrieve multiple files from the internet. These files can be retrieved in multiple parts and each part retrieved on a separate session that the user is connected to the internet. This is most useful to users with dialup connections. The program performs these tasks using `wget`, which supports HTTP, HTTPS and FTP, as its back-end.

The program supports CORBA. This makes it easy for other programs to use `GTransferManager` to handle the transfer of files from the internet.

The program also has an applet that communicates with the program using CORBA. The applet can launch the program, request a new download or accept drops of URLs from a web browser and give these URLs to GTM.

To run `GTransferManager`, select GTransferManager from the Internet submenu of the Main Menu, or type gtm on the command line.

This document describes version 0.4.11 of `GTransferManager`.
