"Apt-fast" is a script created by Matt Parnell who increase the speed of apt-get several times using axel (download accelerator). This script downloads the package divided into X parts all at the same time, increasing the download limit. It works for Ubuntu, and its derivatives. |
Installation:
2.- Modify the name, permissions and move it to the corresponding place.
mv apt-fast.sh apt-fast
chmod + x apt-fast
sudo mv apt-fast / usr / bin /
3.- Install Axel (the download accelerator).
sudo apt-get install axel
How to use it
Instead of typing sudo apt-get install firefox to install Firefox, we should type sudo apt-fast install firefox.
Obviously you will not notice much difference in a package from the official repositories because the speed is very good, but if that package is in the Launchpad PPAs.
