APT configuration Acquire:Queue-Mode



Hello,

could anyone tell me what the configuration option
APT::Acquire::Queue-Mode does actually do? The manpage isn't quite clear
on that:

       Queue-Mode
          Queuing mode; Queue-Mode can be one of host or access which
determines how APT parallelizes outgoing connections.  host means that
one connection per target host will be opened, access means that one
connection per URI type will be opened.


Which hosts? What URI to what? Say the method was host, what would it do
and what would it not do:
 a) APT builds up a connection to server A to download archive a and
simultanously to server B to download file b.
 b) APT builds up a connection and keeps it open if possible to every
single server listed in the sources list, whereas it would open up a
connection for every single entry in sources list if the method was access.
 c) APT tries to download everything that is available from several
servers from all those servers at once.

Greetings,
Björn
