Apt-fast [1] is a wrapper for apt-get that uses axel to download and install on the command-line: # cp ./apt-fast /usr/sbin/ # chmod +x /usr/sbin/apt-fast # apt-fast install pkg1 pkg2 I am not aware of anything similar that works with aptitude, however, the APT "method interface" [2] is very extensible, and such a feature could indeed be implemented. I am reassigning this request to APT as that is the logical place to implement it. The developers over there may also have a better idea if there is an existing solution.
