Yum Fast Downloader Plugin
==========================
This plugin intends to speedup yum downloads by using a download manager
application (currently Aria 2) for downloading files instead of URLGrabber
which is used by yum.
Currently, it provides the following features:
* Downloading repository metadata from several mirrors simultaneously
* Downloading multiple packages in parallel from several mirrors
* Supports HTTP/HTTPS proxies
* Using fastest mirrors for downloading
Currently, it doesn't support downloading delta rpms and other kinds of files
Installation
============
All you need to do is to put yum-fast-downloader.py into /usr/lib/yum-plugins
and yum-fast-downloader.conf in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/
Future Plans
============
* Support downloading delta packages
* Support downloading other files
* Support other download managers
* What else?!
