Bug Description
Binary package hint: software-center
Hello Ubuntu Team,
Hier is something that is keeping me from using Software Center :
when I need to install many software , Software Center chooses this path to install the application :
1- download the package source
2- install the package
3-when or while installing I peek up another package to install
4-wait for the last install-process to end
5- download the new chosen package source
6- install this package
7 . the action repeat from (1) to (6)
Conclusion : it take more time.
Proposed solution :
When Installing a package, if there is another package in the queue , Software Center should start downloading the package source for this new package waiting on the queue.
Conclusion : we have a gain in time.
Because of this , it is hard , at least for me , to forget about synaptic

why it is on a wishlist ?
I think it is a bug when something is not efficient, and that is a case.
Software center need to replace Synaptic , but synaptic does it better. I think from this point of view it is a regression for the Software Center. why do we have to wait for one application install before downloading the next one or two on the queue ?
Guys, you have done great thing with the Software Center , but this one is really an issue. For one application's installation is it ok, but for multiple installation it is just a vaste of time.
Please do think about it.
I love the Center but because of it , I ( and may be many others) continue to use synaptic or apt-get in command Line
