Editor to share with you how to use multiple connections in Ubuntu Linux 16.04LTS to accelerate apt-get/apt. I believe most people don't know much about it, so share this article for your reference. I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article. Let's learn about it.

You need to use apt-fast as a shell wrapper. It downloads a package simultaneously over multiple connections to speed up apt-get/apt and aptitude commands. All packages will be downloaded at the same time. It uses aria2c as the default download accelerator.

Install apt-fast tools

Try the following command in Ubuntu Linux 14.04 or later:

$sudo add-apt-repository ppa:saiarcot895/myppa

Sample output:

Update your warehouse:

Install apt-fast:

$sudo apt-get-y install apt-fast

Or

$sudo apt- y install apt-fast
