Description Stefano Barbato 2002-05-31 07:46:18 UTC

Axel is a download manager so I think it should go to net-misc (same as "wget")
or in net-www (like "prozilla"). don't know, you choose :)

axel description from its main site:
--------------
Axel does the same thing any other accelerator does: it opens more than one
HTTP/FTP connection per download and each connection transfers its own,
separate, part of the file. It may sound weird, but it works very well in practice.
