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.
