I think Marius is correct, apt-get will spawn child process, one for each repository, hoever, when downloading and installing via "apt-get install" there should only be one http process running to retrieve the application for install.<br>

</div>I don't think this is true. Apt-get will use one "http" process per server<br>
for parallel downloading, not one per package.<br>

</div>You can use the Acquire::Queue-Mode setting. See the "apt.conf" man<br>
page.<br>
<br>
Since we have so many repositories and since that seems to cause some<br>
problems, we should probably use<br>
<br>
Acquire::Queue-Mode "access";<br>
<br>
by default.<br>
