A Suggestion



-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hi,
I'd like to inform you about a thing I've seen about apt-get.
It's about "how does apt-get download the packages".
Well, I don't know which protocol use apt to download files but I've
seen that with some old or slow wifi Internet connections apt can be
very slow downloading packages.
So I thought (but I don't know if you can do it) there is a program
called aria runnable as `aria2c` in Ubuntu. Aria is very fast (because
do 5 connections to the server). So my suggestion is to add a switch in
the apt program so running `apt-get --trough-aria «name»` apt call
`aria2c -s5 «url»` in order to be faster!

I don't know if is it possible, I'd like to know it!
Regards,

Lorenzo Mureu.

PS: If I sent this email to an address that isn't directly correlated to
apt, please send me the right email.
