New (development/untested so far) apt-fast version - on GitHub!

[Matt Parnell/ilikenwf]

I've moved apt-fast development to GitHub, so that I can accept pull requests from others wishing to contribute, and keep track of code changes...

I've made some but have yet to test them, so be sure to read the README and also edit apt-fast.sh itself to uncomment the download manager of your choice.

I'm looking into it. Will report back. Thank you.

EDIT:

v0.03 uses axel and v1.4 has a choice of axel or aria2c. Is aria2c the same (too lazy to Google ) as aria2 which we have on our repo? If they (aria2 and aria2c) are the same, which would you recommend? Reasons?

Thanks you, Mr. Matt Parnell.

Hello Mr. Matt Parnell,

I created a diff to uncomment the _DOWNLOADER= for axel. The error is the same whether it's an RPM or I copy the bashscript over to /usr/bin. Here's the output I get:

Code: [Select]

[root@localhost ~] # apt-fast install vim-enhanced
Either you stopped apt-fast in the middle of work or it's already running.
If you think apt-fast isn't running, you may delete /var/lock/apt-fast.lck and try again.
[root@localhost ~] # rm -f /var/lock/apt-fast.lck
