We are using Axel downloader version from 2009, and there is quite development on the tool during this year and we have version 2.12 available at: https://github.com/eribertomota/axel/releases I see some patches done to existing 2.4-r3 ebuild, but not sure if they are fixed in upstream latest or we need still to fix on our side somehow.
