Currently this defaults to 3. I have seen people online suggesting

get better performance setting it to 6 (or higher).
As mirror admins in 2022, do you care? Do you have a preference for our
default? Note that I'm 87% sure that GNOME Software does not do parallel
downloads so this would primarily affect server/cloud use cases (the later
of which should hit cloud-provider mirrors) and enthusiast usage.
Hi Matthew, nice to meet you. :)
Performance wise, It would be interesting if dnf could spread the
load among different mirrors—as in: "n" concurrent downloads, spread
among "n" different mirrors—and perhaps, round-robin among the other
available mirrors too.
This would help slow mirrors, fast clients, faltering pathways, etc.
