Pacman allows parallel downloading. And if interested instructions are:
Arch does not enable it by default, either.
Configuration files in /etc/
are meant to be customized by the user according to preference.
FYI, Pamac aka Add/Remove Software had the parallel downloading feature before Pacman did.
The higher you set the number - the slower the update will be - think of it - your internet connection will suffer - greatly.
We had a trial on threading pacman-mirrors - it turned out really bad.
echo 'Parallel downloads activated'
Depends on ones internet connection. In my case since I get between 600 and 800 mbps having it set to 10 doesnât hurt my download of updates at all. On Average My updates are done faster.
That is exactly my point - you cannot make any prejudice by enabling a certain amount of parallels - it is a user decision based on knowledge.
