Apt-fast: Apt download accelerator

"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:

1.- Download the script.

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 must write 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.
