Hi there: In this university that I am studying in, I have access to a pretty fast internet connection. However when I use a normal download manager like a browser's download manager or apt-get, which use a single connection to fetch the files, my download rates are pretty slow, at most 5 KBps. But I usually use axel, and order it to use 30 to 40 connections to fetch a file ( axel -n 30 <path_to_file> ) and with this download manager I am usualy able to speed up my downloads up to 100 or 150 KBps. (Huge difference, you see). So far so good. But I download most of my needed programs using apt-get, and I haven't found a way to make apt use multiple connections (as in axel).
Is it possible to make apt use multiple connections? Or does anyone have an alternative idea about how I might be able to speed-up my downloads from apt-getable sources?
