Hey Roy, It cannot handle multiple download or even parallel builds.
Look into this proposal: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVEN/Local+repository+separation It is not implemented and nobody knows if it will be implemented. There was discussion on dev group about this proposal - you can find it - if you want to know more. I'm afraid you have to create multiple local repositories. You may have local "mirror" repository to avoid multiple downloads problem.
