A quick search of the repository using Synaptic shows that fatrat is not in the repository.
You will need to compile the source code yourself if available.
Or use a package manager to search for something with similar functions
I prefer to use Synaptic Package Manager.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install synaptic
Unless specified otherwise my response is based on the latest and fully updated RPiOS Buster w/ Desktop OS.

Maybe Aria2 ? which is in the repository:
