Hi, I have red an very interesting article at Matt Parnell (http://www.mattparnell.com) about how can be have faster downloads - not just the updates for the package manager, and I really like it. I'm sure that this artifact could be very useful where speed is a must - especially at preupgrade. Well, after I have seen this - if I good understand this - the based technique is slicing up the downloaded data to pieces and so gets faster (multithread ftp). But I have seen 2 different scripts - one is using aria, an another is using axel. That's pretty neat. However, in my opinion aria2 is much better for this purpose - but the questions are:
- Is preupgrade using aria2 to make it faster the upgrade? - Is there any plugin for yum that uses this technique? - is it possible to combine presto and multithread ftp update (or torrent technique) to get faster downloads?
