Re: [News] Linux Tool Raises Download Speeds

After takin' a swig o' grog, Roy Schestowitz belched out this bit o' wisdom:

> Linux ultra fast command line download accelerator

I tried it from kernel.org.  axel had an average rate of 394 KB/s, while
wget had 376 KB/s.

But, for some reason, wget stalled complete a couple of times, for a few
seconds each time, which I've never seen it do before.  It had peaked at
over 600KB/s for awhile.

I suspect axel would work better with mirror sites added to the mix.
