It takes a silly long time to download a dvd iso over your average home broadband connection.
How exactly does it take longer than downloading the ISOs?
I need three of the six isos currently to do a reasonable installation.
It would follow that that's ~1.8GB instead of the ~3gb that it would be if the srpms were on the same disk.

Disk space is cheap. No reason, given one DVD ISO, not to have two, one with the source, and one without.
