Hello,
as an mirror admin I don't care too. There is only one reason, that on
high load mirror's TCP connections will be flooded, but currently there is
no high load on new Fedora releases.
But as an user I prefer 1 connection only. On slow wifi networks with 3
parallell connection my network is downloading updates only, but for other
apps it's blocked. Network limits are divided into 4 connections (3 for dnf
and 1 for user) and most of capacity (75%) is used for updates and only
25% remains for user. With 6 connection it will be even worse.
I prefer to do not harm users when updates are downloaded. Downlad them
on background and leave users to work.
SAL
