While surfing the net I came across a command called apt-fast
which speeds up downloading packages.
I'm not familiar with this command. Can that command be used to download torrents faster like an album your downloading through a torrent client such as Transmission, and, if so, what do you put at the end of the command to specify what to speed up, eg:do you put apt-fast-(link address) or apt-fast-(eminem discography)? Also, could you run this command in the middle of your download or does it have to be done at the start?
apt-fast
is limited to use with apt-get. aria2 does support torrents and you can find extensive details withman aria2c
if you install aria2. So there's no need to considerapt-fast
, per se, in the context you describe.
