[WayBack] I love installers that can download and install in parallel threads. Embarcadero and Zypper can learn from this. – Jeroen Wiert Pluimers – Google+
Most Linux distributions have package managers that can do this (apt and yum can), but OpenSuSE zypper (actually ZYpp) cannot even download packages in parallel:
- [WayBack] [feature request] Download multiple packages at the same time · Issue #104 · openSUSE/zypper · GitHub
- [WayBack] parallel downloads while doing zypper distribution upgrade · GitHub
- [WayBack] [openFATE 307862] zypper parallel downloading of packages
- [WayBack] openFATE – #307862: zypper parallel downloading of packages
- [WayBack] openFATE – #318807: Practical steps to parallel downloading of updates
- [WayBack] openFATE – #120340: Decouple download and installation
- [WayBack] openFATE – #312840: Evaluate libzypp thread safety
- [WayBack] TUMBLEWEED Is there anyway to speed up ZYpp’s downloading of packages?

Embarcadero is in the same state as zypper.
