Bonus points for downloading the same package in parallel from different mirrors, or at least one package per mirror.

It would be nice if the download process uses something like torrent or other peer to peer method.

I'd say it's useful for people with fast connections as they can saturate one source easily and/or get severely slowed down by handshakes
