Axel is available in Natty (I just checked it). Ensure you've done a sudo apt-get update and see if it shows up.

How do I install axel on Natty Narwhal? I tried sudo apt-get install axel but it came back with this:
```
james@james-ubuntu-11-04:~$ sudo apt-get install axel
[sudo] password for james: 
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package axel
james@james-ubuntu-11-04:~$
```
does anyone have any ideas?

  Deleting because its actually just stupidity/whatever you want to call it, since I was running 11.04 (the pre-release) at the time.

Did the trick! I had to do that for Thunderbird as well... Hmm. Fresh Natty install (A mere five hours old now), so I'm going to file a bug on launchpad.

I'm not sure it's a bug; you should always do an update first when running the dev release as it's always changing.
