Maven has the -T <num_threads> option. Is there anything similar for SBT? How can make it download my dependencies in parallel threads rather than doing it sequentially?

Not sure the exact thing you asked is possible. Here is what SBT docs suggest https://www.scala-sbt.org/1.x/docs/Parallel-Execution.html – Alexander Arendar May 07 '18 at 15:55

thats seems like limiting tags for parallel execution. I am just trying to get the parallel execution to increase on my pc – MozenRath May 07 '18 at 16:11

Parallel dependency download has been supported since SBT 1.0:
sbt 1 by default uses Gigahorse HTTP client (backed by Square OkHttp) to download artifacts in parallel.
This is also discussed in Download artifacts in parallel #590
coursier SBT plugin also supports downloading of dependencies in parallel:
By default, downloads happen in a global fixed thread pool (with 6 threads, allowing for 6 parallel downloads), but you can supply your own thread pool to
Cache.default.
