Axel tries to accelerate the downloading process by using multiple connections for one file, similar to DownThemAll and other famous programs. It can also use multiple mirrors for one download.

Using Axel, you will get files faster from Internet. So, Axel can speed up a download up to 60% (approximately, according to some tests).

Axel supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP and FTPS protocols.

Axel tries to be as light as possible, so it might be useful as a wget clone (and other console based programs) on byte-critical systems.

Сама швидка утиліта для загрузки. 30-50 підключень на файл більш ніж достатньо :)

Very fast. Easy to configure, especially the number of connections/segments per download. Very lightweight.

mint 16 x64 mate: better than wget as it opens multiple connections to the one server for a faster download.

One of the best command-line download accelerators out there.

Nice, since some direct downloads have a speed limit, a program like axel that can open multiple connections at once is a bless. Usage from command line: axel [url]

Use with options [n, v, a] for a nice progress display, e.g. "axel -n 4 -v -a url" Resumes after download interruption.

It's cmd tool, and useful. In some ways, it's better than wget.
