Use Tucan Manager to download files from various file hosting sites

Don't you just hate when you have to wait and download files from various 1-click hosters. Wouldn't it be great if we had a single place where we could manage all our downloads from various such websites. Tucan Manager seems to be a solution for this problem. It can manage all your downloads for most of the popular 1-click file sharing sites.

Tucan Manager is a light-weight application written using Gtk+ toolkit providing it top-level stability and superb performance. In order to install it, ubuntu users can either click this link(doesn't work, try this) or run this command in the terminal.

[shredder12]$ sudo apt-get install tucan

Fedora users can download Tucan manager using yum.

[root]# yum install tucan

Till now, there is no support for uploading files on any of the file hosting sites but Tucan Manager greatly eases the job of downloading files from various sites simultaneously.

Works well with RS premium but you need to hack at Python for the rest to get premium downloads working correctly.
