5x faster is a bogus, marketing claim. 5x faster than what?! Just because the developers make certain claims does not mean that those claims are factual. The developers can and will claim anything to get people to use their product. Relying on developers' claims is the LAST thing I would do in evaluating a product. You are using "XDM" and "XDMan" interchangeably. They are NOT one and the same. XDM is a DISPLAY Manager, analogous GDM or KDM. The product you are pushing is XDMAN, which is something entirely different.

@Pouya,

Unfortunately, other than Axel and Aria2, there were no any CLI download managers for Linux, but you can use wget, curl, etc tools to download files as described in this article here: http://www.tecmint.com/linux-command-line-tools-for-downloading-files/

what about a good CLI download accelerator for Linux? Both Axel and aria2 are worthless and using Java for any tech on Linux is a good reason to stay away
