Seems like a very convoluted way of using the APT command.

@Joe

Yes, i absolutely agree with you, this is a great front-end for apt/apt-get/aptitude for Debian systems. Its efficient and reliable as well, including it in mainline repos would be so useful.

I discovered this wrapper about a year ago. Any time I install Linux, I then install this. It should be put into the mainline repos. It is a must have.

Yes, it is the Max Number of Connections

apt-fast uses more than one connection to download a single package, which i suppose is similar to the multithreaded downloading. Therefore, you need to set the Max Number of Connections to achieve something similar.
