Fedora ISO distribution with Metalink

Hi,

I just wanted to invite people to try out downloading Fedora ISOs with
Metalink.
It's an XML format for listing mirrors and checksums along with other
information. openSUSE, OpenOffice.org, Arch Linux, and other distributions use
it.

It usually results in much faster and more reliable downloads.

aria2 is in Extras and is a great command line client for segmented downloads
and BitTorrent, along with Metalink. There are also other GUI clients on Mac,
Unix, and Windows.

You can find .metalinks for most Fedora ISOs at
http://download.packages.ro/metalink/fedora/

For more info, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink

I'd be interested in any comments people have.
