Description : light command line download accelerator
Axel tries to accelerate the downloading process by using multiple connections
for one file. It can also use multiple mirrors for one download. Axel tries
to be as light as possible (25-30k in binary form), so it might be useful as a
wget clone on byte-critical systems.
PS: This package is being reintroduced by a new maintainer.
