My two cents worth.
I only download once to burn a dvd. Thereafter, I download the updates. I only fetch the
DVD about two days after the release. I also go to a site half way around the
world, where the typical linux developer is asleep (local time 9pm, remote time, 3am), so
that that mirror is not under heavy load. I get fairly good download times.
With updates I use the designated mirror list. Usually find that updates rarely take more
then 10 minutes of download time. No, I do not have super high speed, only DSL speed. I am
not concerned about a difference of 10 megabytes, I am concerned that the rpm is received
without corruption due to transmission errors. This is caught by rpm or yum.

Parallel downloads crush a lot of network connections. Dial up is one in
particular.
