why are making the connections to the SAME mirror at all? it would make much more sense to download packages parallel and each one from a different mirror currently the largest problem is that most mirrors does not reflect as example my 100 Mbit downstream connection and "yum-plugin-fastest-mirror" makes completly wrong decisions
