#20972: Global master_sites option (in conf) and download acceleration --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: chenggao@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.8.0 Keywords: | Port: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment(by andre.david@…): Replying to [ticket:20972 chenggao@…]:
I really hope Macports can have two features:
2. Use some download acceleration tool like axel It can accelerate and resume downloading.
If combined with above setting, once again I hope server is super robust and super smoke/fire-proof.
I actually second the need to auto-resume partial downloads. From home it is virtually impossible to update a large package without this. And it is a feature that `wget` and (the new to me) `axel` support out of the box. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/20972#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
