Aria2 in our update/install process?

Hi,

I have red an very interesting article at Matt Parnell
(http://www.mattparnell.com) about how can be have faster downloads -
not just the updates for the package manager, and I really like it.
I'm sure that this artifact could be very useful where speed is a must
- especially at preupgrade. Well, after I have seen this - if I good
understand this - the based technique is slicing up the downloaded
data to pieces and so gets faster (multithread ftp). But I have seen 2
different scripts - one is using aria, an another is using axel.
That's pretty neat. However, in my opinion aria2 is much better for
this purpose - but the questions are:

- Is preupgrade using aria2 to make it faster the upgrade?
- Is there any plugin for yum that uses this technique?
- is it possible to combine presto and multithread ftp update (or
torrent technique) to get faster downloads?

Cheers,

Zoltan
