Apps downloading is pretty slow
curaga:
Multiple downloads in parallel from a single server is considered rude, and it may not even help your case. The throttling you see may not be per-connection but per-area.

@Curaga
I am not saying "Multiple thread downloads". I am saying to verify the already downloaded dependency tczs in multiple processes.
For example, lets take "ffmpeg4".tcz. It contains a lot of tree dependencies. So, to verify them faster, creating subprocesses to tree dependencies may help.
curaga:
What do you mean verify? md5sum? It's quite fast...
Sashank999:
I forgot to include the word "loading" beside verifying. My bad.
I mean to run subprocesses for loading and verifying. It would be really fast.
It is similar to "make -j2" - dividing the load of compiling to 2 processors. Just like that I propose running subprocesses to load dependencies recursively.
Rich:
Hi Sashank999
Doing that means those processes would be running asynchronously in the background, creating a race condition. This will cause
problems for cases when the order of extension loading matters, such as graphics-KERNEL and alsa-config.
