Are you thinking of KGet?

http://kget.sourceforge.net/
http://packages.ubuntu.com/kget

A good GNOME alternative to KGet is Gwget

http://gnome.org/projects/gwget
http://packages.ubuntu.com/gwget

And lastly a good command-line alternative to wget is cURL

http://curl.haxx.se/
http://packages.ubuntu.com/curl

The "Flashgot" Firefox extension can be configured to launch any one of 
these when you click on a download link.
