Bug#690183: ITP: apt-fast -- shellscript wrapper for apt-get or aptitude



Hi,

wow, didn't thought there is much noise. Thank you all for your feedback!

I added mirror support to download files from multiple mirrors at once
(aria2 only) and now md5 hashes are checked (thanks David for the
hint!). aria2 supports this ootb so no big changes were needed on
apt-fast itself.

Nice "hidden" feature!

But this option and the mirror: protocol doesn't support downloading
from multiple servers with same archive or am I missing something? If
this is already present there aren't any arguments of using apt-fast.
This is the single feature of this wrapper: Downloading same file over
multiple connections.
