[solved]pacman upgrade issue using axel

i changed the default downloading tool to axel, but ervery time before i run pacman -Syu, i need to rm /var/lib/pacman/sync/*.db. If I don't do this, axel can't overwrite the database automatically, which can result in the fail of pacman upgrade.
what should i do so needn't i rm the db files before upgrade.

Post the XferCommand you're using. Is it https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … plications

XferCommand = /usr/bin/axel -n 2 -v -a -o %o %u

Seems to work for me.

oh, it works, thx a lot!
but why i could't succeed when i using "XferCommand = /usr/bin/axel -n 2 -v -a -o `basename %u` %u" before?
