apt-fast can be more faster (some suggestions)

[mayuroks]

Initially when I installed and used apt-fast I dint see any difference at all. I checked the ap-fast.conf file and found this line

_DOWNLOADER='aria2c -c -j ${_MAXNUM} -i ${DLLIST} --connect-timeout=600 --timeout=600 -m0'

This command can be further improved. On my machine I did some playing with aria2c on my laptop and found some interesting options which really made a difference

aria2c -j 8 -k 2M -s 8 -x 8

-k for min split size ( its 2MB in this case )
-x for max connections per server
-s tells aria to split files in to peices

If you could include those options in the package and release a newer version it would be great.

If you'd like to add these as config file options, for debconf, we'd be happy to accept a pull request.

I forked the project and hardcoded those options in. I saw 2x - 3x improvements depending on package size. I don't have the time to figure out how to add it as an option, but if you want to verify how much faster it is, Here is my fork

Put in a pull request so I can look at the diff. If it looks/works good,
I'll merge and add the option.

Oops, looks like we have the same idea, and I think it was done in 95f79b1, 0224aa2 & a1cc5de.

This github repo isnt mine. I created it . But sadly dont know how to remove it . And by the way what you said earlier about useless files ppl have found a way to force apt install junk and malware . So what u said is true.
Nvm apt-fast isnt needed in ubuntu any more ...
