iirc, apt has support for it (it will only download a single thing at a time from a given host, but does appear to download different things from different hosts at the same time).<p>I believe gentoo&#x27;s emerge also has support (though I&#x27;m not as sure here as I typically have the downloads happen in the background while building).<p>The overall goal here is to more effectively utilize the available bandwidth on the client side even when there are limitations a given server.<p>It&#x27;s great that we can customize how to download 1 package at a time. But there is room for improvement.
