 Apt-fast (and an optional backend upgrade)Apt-fast is a script that is a drop-in replacement for apt-get. It uses the axel multiconnection download manager to try and increase speeds...but in my limited testing, the MLCR and Mepis repos only allow single connections. It does seem to help Debian repo downloads.
Just use "apt-fast" instead of apt-get in your terminal commands for testing: apt-fast update apt-fast install foo http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1540715/apt-fast_project.zip If this helps anybody, we'll get it into the CR. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |
