Bug#500653:
the author of aria2 has a shell script which uses 'apt-get -y --print-uris -qq' to output needed package metainfo: URI, filename, size, sha-256 hash. then aria2 downloads multiple packages at once and can use multiple mirrors, spreading the downloads among them. once complete, aria2 uses the hash to verify the file. unsurprisingly this is much faster. :) https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/aria2/viewtopic.php?f=1t=52 this is related to bug #402536 'apt ftp, http methods should have ability to use external program for reliable download' http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=402536 -- (( Anthony Bryan ...

Bug#500653: apt-get must use faster download algorithms or aria2 as a backend downloader
Package: apt Version: 0.7.14 apt-get apparently currently uses some simple wget-type sequential download algorithm for all its functions that download anything from the net, like update, install, dist-upgrade, upgrade, build-dep, source etc. This really does not well use the available broadband bandwidth of most users. Hence I am forced to use home-cooked scripts to extract the URLs to download and then pass them to aria2 (GPL) to download, so that the thing is done faster. If it is built-in, everyone can benefit. Granted, the user may not want his entire bandwidth hogged by apt-get, but at least provide this as an option -- use a faster split-download algorithm, or at least use a good backend downloader like aria2 which provides high-speed downloading. I am a downstream (Ubuntu) user of Debian apt, and the downstream people redirected me to here from http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/275994 Shriramana Sharma. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
