As far as I am aware, apt can already do parallel downloads from
different sources. From apt.conf(5):
Queue-Mode
Queuing mode; Queue-Mode can be one of host or access which
determines how APT parallelizes outgoing connections. host means that one
connection per target host will be opened, access means that one connection per
URI
type will be opened.
I don't know when exactly this was added, but I believe that I have
observed parallel behaviour for many years.
Marking Fix Released accordingly. If this functionality is not working,
then please explain and reopen.
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
