IDM FOR BACKTRACK

INSTALL IDM IN BACKTRACK

Everyone relies on the famous "apt-get" command to install  packages, or update their systems. Unfortunately "apt" only uses one single connection which makes the process quite slow.This is why many Linux users were looking for an alternative for Internet download manager or trying to run it with wine in vain.
The solution comes with a wonderful utility, which is in fact a script named "fast". This utility can be considered as the Linux IDM version. It allows multiple connections simultaneously and can boost your downloading speed to the max.

-First you need to download the script (clean) from here: 
http://www.mattparnell.com/linux/apt-fast/apt-fast.sh

-Uncompress the file with this command to make it executable:

root@bt:~# chmod +x apt-fast.sh

-Move it now to the user bin directory:



root@bt:~# mv apt-fast.sh /usr/bin/apt-fast.sh

Now, all what is left is to run "fast" instead of "get", for example:

root@bt:~# apt-fast.sh update

root@bt:~# apt-fast install chromium-browser
