Yes, even though DNF is not a download manager, neither a compiler and
YMMV on Windows, it downloads packages in parallel.
Can it be configured to turn that functionality off if desired,
sometimes it is quicker to download packages individually rather than in
parallel.
Does it install packages in parallel and is that configurable as well as
to whether undertake the parallel install at all or the maximum number
of threads to be used for installs similar to what the c compiler allows?
