Bug#47625: apt: wish: Add a 'slow' or 'modem' option to Queue-Mode

[Brian Servis <servis@purdue.edu>]

Package: apt
Version: 0.3.11
Severity: wishlist

A 'slow' or 'modem' option to Queue-Mode would be great for dialout
access to limit the number of connection made over the modem.  In
'modem' mode only one connection of either http or ftp URI type would
be made at a time while other local URI types of cdrom, file & copy are
made simultaneously.  Currently if I want to limit the number of
simultaneous connection over the modem I have to use the 'access'
method and have all non-local URI types be of the same type.  This is
not always possible since not all mirrors have both ftp and http.
