Hi, I have red an interesting article at Matt Parnell (http://www.mattparnell.com/projects/apt-fast-and-axel-roughly-26x-faster-apt-get-installations-and-upgrades.html) about how is it possible to get faster downloads through apt, and I think we could gain that speed improvement at many places where big amount of data comes down, even if just deltarpm's in picture for yum. I mean not just the updates for the package manager, else at many fedora apps - like pulp, preupgrade, and maybe many more what uses yum. I'm sure that this artifact could be very useful to us - and if I good understand this - the based technique is slicing up the downloaded data to pieces and so gets faster (multithread ftp). But I have seen two different scripts - one is using aria, an another is using axel. Both are pretty neat. However, in my opinion aria2 is much better for this purpose - but my questions are:
- Is preupgrade using/or possible to use aria2 to make it faster the upgrade? - Is there any plugin for yum that uses this technique? - is it possible to combine presto and multithread ftp update (or torrent technique or both) to get faster downloads?
