Description : shellscript wrapper for apt-get or aptitude
apt-fast is a shellscript wrapper for apt-get that can drastically improve apt
download times by downloading packages in parallel, with multiple connections
per package.
It uses aria2 oder axel as download managers and apt-get --print-uris to get
download URLs.
Bash and Zsh autocompletion included (derived from distributed apt-get).
