Debian (and similar ones) has a very good tool - apt-fast, and in arch - powerpill, which allows you to download packages in multithreaded in parallel mode. By default, Frya downloads only one stream, moreover, only one package, and not several in parallel. Are there similar tools for fries?
And is it possible somehow to use UFS compression? As in btrfs

UFS does not support compression. But its support is available in ZFS, and on FreeBSD it can just be installed on ZFS.
On the first question. Most likely, multi-threaded downloading of packages is not implemented. Unfortunately, I don't have exact data.
