apt-fast is a shell script wrapper around apt-get and aptitude that speeds up package downloads by fetching packages in parallel with multiple connections per file. It is used as a drop-in replacement for apt on Debian-based systems.
Use cases
- speed up apt package downloads
- download deb packages in parallel
- faster apt-get install on ubuntu
- reduce apt update download times
- use multiple connections per package with apt
- configure apt download mirrors and connections
When to choose
- you use apt-get or aptitude on Debian/Ubuntu and want faster package downloads
- you have slow apt mirrors and want parallel, multi-connection downloads
- you want a drop-in apt replacement with familiar commands
When to avoid
- you are not on a Debian-based distribution using apt
- you need a GUI package manager
- your network or mirrors restrict multiple concurrent connections
