Download Manager with Failure Alert Option

[Nutshell]

I'm building a script to download almost any file without human eyes watching
a monitor. It's been tested numerous times, but there are still a few holes to fill.

I've tried several managers packed with features I never use. My favorite is an
older version of FlashGet. To complete my script, I briefly searched for a single
purpose applet that could monitor a download stream and detect when the bytes
stopped for a certain period of time. After that period elapsed, the applet would
launch a file. I quickly realized it would have to be a plug-in, specifically created
for a manager like FlashGet.

How many similar "resume download" managers are there? A million, at least. Is
there a manager that will pop up an alert window or dialog box after waiting (maybe
30 seconds) for the download to resume?
