使用 Axel 命令行下载器/加速器加速下载

Axel 是一个轻量级下载程序，它和其他加速器一样，对同一个文件建立多个连接，每个连接下载单独的文件片段以更快地完成下载。

Axel 支持 HTTP、HTTPS、FTP 和 FTPS 协议。它也可以使用多个镜像站点下载单个文件，所以，Axel 可以加速下载高达 40％（大约，我个人认为）。它非常轻量级，因为它没有依赖并且使用非常少的 CPU 和内存。

Axel 一步到位地将所有数据直接下载到目标文件（LCTT 译注：而不是像其它的下载软件那样下载成多个文件块，然后拼接）。

注意：不支持在单条命令中下载两个文件。

你还可以尝试其他命令行下载管理器/加速器。

大多数发行版（Debian、Ubuntu、Mint、Fedora、suse、openSUSE、Arch Linux、Manjaro、Mageia 等）都有 axel 包，所以我们可以从发行版官方仓库轻松安装。对于 CentOS/RHEL，我们需要启用 EPEL Repository。

[在 Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint 上安装 Axel]
$ sudo apt-get install axel

[在 RHEL/CentOS 上安装 Axel]
$ sudo yum install axel

[在 Fedora 上安装 Axel]
$ sudo dnf install axel

[在 openSUSE 上安装 Axel]
$ sudo zypper install axel

[在 Mageia 上安装 Axel]
$ sudo urpmi axel

[在基于 Arch Linux 的发行版安装 Axel]
$ sudo pacman -S axel

1) 下载单个文件

以下命令将从给定的 URL 下载文件并存储在当前目录中，下载文件时，我们可以看到文件的信息（建立的连接数、下载速度、下载进度、完成下载所花费的时间以及连接完成的时间）。

2) 用不同的名称保存文件

要使用其他名称来保存文件，启动下载时可以添加 -o（小写字母）选项和文件名。这里我们使用文件名 owncloud.tar.bz2 来保存文件。

3) 限制下载速度

默认情况下 axel 以字节/秒为单位设置下载文件的最大速度。当我们的网络连接速度较慢时，可以使用此选项。只需添加 -s 选项，后面跟字节值。这里我们要限速 512 KB/s 下载一个文件。

4) 限制连接数

axel 默认建立 4 个连接以从不同的镜像获取文件。此外，我们可以通过使用 -n 选项添加更多的连接，后跟连接数 10 来提高下载速度。保险起见，我们添加了十个连接，但不幸的是，它花了更多时间来下载文件。

5) 恢复未完成的下载

axel 默认具有恢复未完成的下载的行为。Axel 在下载文件时定期更新状态文件（扩展名为 .st）。由于某些原因，下载中途停止了？不用担心，只要使用相同的 axel 命令，它将会检查 file 和 file.st，如果找到，它会从停止处恢复下载。
