This neat application might not be as functional as wget, but in my tests it's ofter a lot more faster, and if I remember correctly has very few dependencies.

Is there a way to make appbrowser use it when downloading extensions ?

- We already have aria2 available
- Appbrowser is only a gui, the logic is in tce-load (a sh script)
- Big gains would come merely from selecting a mirror near you, instead of the default
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Thanks.

As of the mirror, none of them is local to me (Bulgaria), so they are all almost the same.

Anyway, I've submitted and 'axel.tcz' extension for tc 3.x :)

Case closed :)
