What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

A Composer 1.x plugin that downloads PHP packages in parallel using curl to dramatically speed up dependency installation. It is now obsolete since Composer 2 includes native parallel downloads.

Use cases

  • speed up composer install
  • parallel package downloads for composer 1
  • reduce laravel project install time
  • faster php dependency installation
  • composer create-project too slow

When to choose

  • you are stuck on Composer 1.x and cannot upgrade
  • legacy PHP projects still using Composer 1

When to avoid

  • you use Composer 2 or newer, which is already fast
  • starting a new PHP project
  • you need actively maintained tooling
