I use it and it works fine. I did however find that if I use it in combination with mirrorselect it does however start to get a little flaky finding hosts and connecting to them properly.

Tried it, but was put off by two things: 1) On my 56k-dialup, it doesn't really offer any advantage, since the limiting factor is the effective 4.5k/s maximum download speed. All it does is split into 3 x 1.5k/s threads. 2) It takes over the console a bit in what is presumably a curses-based colourful scheme, but I prefer something with the simplicity of wget or scp. Maybe there's some switch to change it but, given (1) above, I didn't hang around to find out.
