[More] multiple threads and downloading data from HTTP(S)/FTP, while also uploading to the BitTorrent swarm). Using Metalink's chunk checksums, aria2 automatically validates chunks of data while downloading a file like BitTorrent. The physical memory usage is typically 3MB(normal HTTP/FTP downloads) to 6MB(BitTorrent downloads). CPU usage in BitTorrent with download speed of 1500KB/sec is around 6%. [Less]

Fetchmail

Fetchmail is a full-featured, robust, well-documented remote-mail retrieval and forwarding utility intended to be used over on-demand or permanent dynamic-address TCP/IP links (such as SLIP or PPP connections).
