C++ The Complete Reference by Herbert Schildt is *very* good.  I use it
all the time. Its now in its 3rd edition (I have the 2nd which was about
30 quid).

Fairly unsure where you're going with this question but most linux
distributions should come with a zi and unzip programs and pkzip for linux
can be obtained from pkware.com under the UNIX section.  For native a
native unix version try 'man tar'

As far as a download manager goes, I've no idea what one is but wget is a
handy tool for downlading things.  or NcFTP for a ftp cient.  I tend to
live on the command prompt on the whole, which is imho one of  Linux's
beauties so I couldn't say much about X based apps.

Howver imho pam, glibc and inetd are more vital to a linux setup than a
compression program or whatever a downlaod program is.
