Installing an application in Ubuntu is very easy. You can quickly install the application in the source through the Ubuntu Software Center, the apt protocol on the web page, and the apt-get command. The principle of any installation method is to download the files required by the application and then install them for you.

Apt-fast is a program that accelerates the apt-get download process. The principle is to add multi-thread download to apt-get. (Details: ubuntu apt acceleration tool: apt-fast http://www.linuxidc.com/Linux/2011-04/35020.htm)

In the earlier version, Apt-fast is accelerated by adding the axel multithreading function. In the new version 1.8.1, Apt-fast adds the new aria2c, which is a multi-thread command line download tool.

Now Apt-fast supports both axel and aria2c acceleration download modes. Currently, aria2c is enabled by default, but users can modify the acceleration mode by modifying/etc/apt-fast.conf, the maximum number of threads can be modified.

Apt-fast is easy to use. You only need to change the original apt-get to apt-fast.
