One of the drawback of axel is you can not specify ftp username and password. You can use prozilla program, which also makes multiple connections and downloads a file in multiple parts simultaneously thus enhancing the download speed and dwnloading the file faster than a download with a single connection.
FTP passwords can be specified with the URL, or can be obtained automatically from ~/.netrc if it exists.
# yum install prozilla
$ sudo apt-get install prozilla
OR
# rpm -ivh prozilla-2.0.4-19.1.i386.rpm
# proz http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.17.11.tar.bz2
