Ubuntu Lucid 32-bit desktop machine. I run "aptitude update" and "aptitude safe-upgrade" manually from the command-line regularly to upgrade my machine. I usually don't pay that much attention to the downloading, but I noticed yesterday that aptitude appeared to be downloading four files simultaneously, rather than the one at a time that I've always seen. Would this be correct? How can I change that? I can't say I've ever noticed it before.

Same happens with me while using synaptic or update manager,but It hasnt caused any problems yet.
I guess its nothing to worry about.

Multiple downloads don't go any faster for me. If you download one file at X or 5 files at X/5, the final speed is the same. I prefer to know when/where/why settings like this are changed.
