Prozilla is a ncurses based download accelerator which support parallel download, pause and resume both HTTP and FTP protocol. It has FTP search feature too which can search faster FTP server for the file you're downloading. Because it based on ncurses, ProZilla is fast, easy-to-use, and lighweight download accelerator you should give it a try.

Recently, I have wrote about how to limit apt-get download speed. Today, I'd like to show you cross-purposed applications called apt-fast and apt-proz. Both of them can boost your apt-get download speed by using such an engine, apt-fast use Axel engine and apt-proz use ProZilla engine. They can do parallel download, so as expected, your download speed is faster than usig reguler apt-get operation.
