Hi Denis,
That is right that you say. But if you add many repositories and
enter “apt-get update” in terminal ,you will find many processes , do you
think ?
Thanks

I think Marius is correct, apt-get will spawn child process, one for each
repository, hoever, when downloading and installing via "apt-get install" there
should only be one http process running to retrieve the application for install.

I don't think this is true. Apt-get will use one "http" process per server
for parallel downloading, not one per package.

You can use the Acquire::Queue-Mode setting. See the "apt.conf" man
page.
Since we have so many repositories and since that seems to cause some
problems, we should probably use
Acquire::Queue-Mode "access";
by default.
