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?
