Ye,

looks like it's our mistake: The code for user-agent slipped out of the
release. Sorry for that. We'll release an updated version shortly. In
the meantime, you can use a development version by typing the following
commands:

svn co svn://svn.debian.org/svn/ axel-trunk
cd axel-trunk
./configure
make


After that, the axel executable can be found in the current directory.
Type  make install  as root or  sudo make install  to install it. Most
likely, it will be easier to wait for your distribution to push the
changes. Again, sorry for that mistake.

Regards,

Philipp Hagemeister
