So I have a micro server that runs uTorrent and SabNZB among other things. If I want to download a torrent or NZB with browser extensions I can easily send it to the server to download and check on it's progress via web interface, plus see past downloads etc. I'm looking for something that can do the same with regular HTTP downloads with a similar setup / web interface. Does such a thing exist?

Do you have an android device at all? I would suggest getting NZB Unity if you do, latches into SABnzbd/Sickbeard and Couchpotatoe. Otherwise, you can just port forward SABnzbd to access via HTTP, however not sure about uTorrent.

Your subject is ruining my brain every time I look at it, please fix that horrible grammar error.

Fixed. NFI how i typed that. Would have pissed me off too!

This is mainly just for my frequent laptop use. If i download a large http file I don't want to have to worry about having to leave the laptop open until it finishes, I just want it sent off to the server like i do for torrents / nzb's.

Yep, I run Transmission on both my Qnap and my HP Microserver, and use Transmission Remote GUI to connect to both; both also have the web interface available.

Works really well.

*Sigh*

He doesn't want a program that handles torrents and lets you download them from it, he want's a download manager (i.e. web downloads) that has a remote web gui.

Mmmm... don't have any myself but a lovely search of google with some odd phrases came up with

table near the bottom has a part with "remote control/access" so have a look I guess. =)
