  • I know about this option, it works, but wget cannot download in multiple threads. This limits speed. Also, I couldn’t calculate the overall speed, and i need exactly this Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 19:44

    I'm confused. If you run 2 wget processes at the same time, they will use different threads. Then, isn't the your overall speed just the sum of the speed of the individual downloads, e.g. 2.4 Mbps on one interface, 1.4 Mbps on another, overall 3.8 Mbps? What am I missing?

  • Not really. First, it,s hard to run them really simultaneously to check the overall speed. But it’s not the main issue. Second, single-thread download is usually slower, at least in my case (tried centos “all” image) Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 19:53
  • I updated my answer with an option that is multi-threaded per network interface. Perhaps a simple script could be used to run them simultaneously and even add the speeds together. Commented Nov 17, 2018 at 19:56
