It does run without a proper value for $DISPLAY, but configuring it to use one of the interfaces may be tricky. Not to mention handling CAPTCHAs.

yes actually i wanted to use it for normal HTTP downloads, nothing special , just provide some cookies, or u/p and that's it Meanwhile i've found another solution it's called Aria2 . This one has an xml-rpc protocol and runs without X11. Do you know something about it? – PartySoft Jul 15 '10 at 2:19
Never heard of it. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jul 15 '10 at 2:35
here's a link sourceforge.net/apps/trac/aria2/wiki looks...pretty primising, has a web interface as well, cool – PartySoft Jul 15 '10 at 2:52
