Hi devs, |
2 |
|

Today I tested a new download tool as a replacement for wget. |
4 |
|
5 |
It's called prozilla and has buildin support for finding the fastest |
6 |
localtion by querying an ftpsearch host and pinging all mirrors. |
7 |
It makes multiple connections to the server and downloads files in |
8 |
portions which should be faster than a single connection. |
9 |
|
10 |
I think it would be a good idea to use it as a default. |
11 |
I have not tested if it supports PROXY's. |
12 |
|
13 |
If you want to test it add this line to /etc/make.conf |
14 |
|
15 |
FETCHCOMMAND="( cd \${DISTDIR};/usr/bin/proz --no-getc --ftpsearch \${x} |
16 |
)" |
17 |
|
18 |
replace --ftpsearch with --no-search if you don't want to use the |
19 |
ftpsearch feature. |

PS: packages is in net-www/prozilla |
