Bug#794421: ITP: axel -- light command line download accelerator



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Joao Eriberto Mota Filho <eriberto@debian.org>

* Package name    : axel
  Version         : 2.4
  Upstream Author : Giridhar Appaji Nag Y
* URL             : http://axel.alioth.debian.org
* License         : GPL-2+
  Programming Lang: C
  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.
