Starting from version 0.97, the program can use different URL's for one download as well. The program tries to be as light as possible (25-30k in binary form), so it might be useful as a wget clone on byte-critical systems. << DescUsage: << Run the program like this: axel ftp://ftp.nl.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.5.tar.bz2 For a simple single-server-multiple-connection download, or: axel ftp://ftp.{nl,be,de}.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.5.tar.bz2 If you want to use those three servers for the download. The program can do an automatic search for FTP mirrors as well (filesearching.com), but that's not yet perfect... Just try the -S option. (The line above should at least work with the Bash shell. You can type all the mirrors by hand as well, if you really want to...) << License: GPL Homepage: http://www.lintux.cx/axel.html
