AXEL是使用多線(Multi-thread)方式下載檔案, 又有人寫成YUM的plugin, 所以就來用看看！


Install AXEL


#wget http://wilmer.gaast.net/downloads/axel-1.0b.tar.gz
#tar zxvf axel-1.0b.tar.gz
#cd axel-1.0b
# ./configure –i18n=1
#make
#make install


設定YUM 使用 AXEL:


將 axelget.conf 放置 /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/


#wget http://cnfreesoft.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/axelget/axelget.conf -P /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/


將 axelget.py 放置 /usr/lib/yum-plugins/


#wget http://cnfreesoft.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/axelget/axelget.py -P  /usr/lib/yum-plugins/


調整 YUM-Axel plugin, 只有超過200Kbyte檔案才使用 axel:


# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/axelget.conf
[main]
enabled=1
onlyhttp=1
enablesize=200000
cleanOnException=1


讓YUM自動找最快mirror site:


yum install yum-fastmirror


試試看吧:


# yum update
Loaded plugins: axelget, presto, refresh-packagekit
