Package: apt
Version: 1.8.0
Severity: minor

Here we observe parallel download:

# aptitude full-upgrade
...
35% [5 firefox 33.9 MB/44.5 MB 76%] [1 google-earth-pro-stable 2,215 kB/56.5 MB 4%]

What if we don't want parallel download?
I.e., just download one server at a time?

Well the closest setting one finds in
/usr/share/doc/apt/examples/configure-index.gz
is acquire::queuehost::limit but that doesn't govern it.

sources.list.d# grep ^deb *
google-earth-pro.list:deb http://dl.google.com/linux/earth/deb/ stable main
jidanni.list:deb http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
jidanni.list:deb http://opensource.nchc.org.tw/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

You can specify Acquire::http{,s}::Dl-Limit to set a download limit
for the method, which causes it to not download in parallel so it can
do the rate limiting. This will not work across http and https, though.

I think single downloads are otherwise out of scope for apt, as they'd
require significant restructuring of how downloads work for basically
no gain.
