the author of aria2 has a shell script which uses 'apt-get -y --print-uris -qq' to output needed package metainfo: URI, filename, size, sha-256 hash. then aria2 downloads multiple packages at once and can use multiple mirrors, spreading the downloads among them. once complete, aria2 uses the hash to verify the file. unsurprisingly this is much faster. :) https://sourceforge.net/apps/phpbb/aria2/viewtopic
