#20652: 'segmented downloading' for fetch --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: macports.users@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment(by arno+macports@…): Sometimes the remote server either throttles individual connections or due to server bandwidth is the slow link. Not that this specific case should be handled by fetch, but even opening multiple connections to the same server can sometimes accelerate the download. In these cases, opening connections to multiple servers distributes the load among the mirrors while increasing the utility to the user. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20652#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
