  Suggest to use axel instead of wget in apt-get

Status in “apt” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi

  Could you be able to replace wget by axel or some other faster downloader in apt-get code so that the package downloads are faster. This is an enhancement request only.
  Somebody has done something similarly here though i have not tested it.
