Prozilla, a file transfer program that tends to do better in terms of transfer speeds than most, is now available on shellx. This would be used for grabbing something from a remote site and bringing it to shellx efficiently.
Prozilla has the ability to make multiple connections to multiple servers and download from all of them to obtain better speeds than any one of them might provide.
The command is ‘proz’, you can type ‘proz –help’ to see a list of options, or ‘man proz’ to get a manual page from the command line.
