Description Honza Silhan 2015-04-09 13:13:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
In librepo there's no option to download metadata in parallel other than running it in different threads which would result in inconsistent log.

Actual results:
no option to download metadata in parallel. It downloads them one by one.


Expected results:
Simultaneously downloads metadata when the option is set

Trying to download updates, and install packages, many times it just sits there and is either very slow, or just stalls for hours.

(4-5/5): libpurple-devel-2.10.11-12 40% [==============                     ] ---  B/s | 1.2 MB     --:-- ETA
Comment 3 EMR_Fedora 2015-09-01 15:16:02 UTC 
So I just tried to dnf download some data, and even with the timeout set to 5 seconds, it took forever cycling through the servers, and just quit (without alternating) downloading meta-data. They were all FTP sites. Yet, when I used wget to each ftp URL that curl timed out on, it worked fine. I am not sure what's happening but it might be an upstream libcurl problem with FTP.
