I personaly use prozilla for fetching. This tool can find mirrors for a |
| 8 |
source and downloads |
| 9 |
from the fastes one. Additionaly it downloads the package parallel in |
| 10 |
portions. I get the maximum |
| 11 |
download speed most times. But it has a ugly ncurses based interface. |

I think Philipe is enhancing our fetch function at the moment. And we |
| 13 |
decided to use prozilla for default. |

wget does a good job in most cases, but here it sometimes hangs after |
| 15 |
downloading a big source and I must CTRL-C it. |
