Why should "prozilla or some other tool" make the

wget, or watch emerge invoking wget, it's always

On my 1Gig line on my workstation at work it's usually _not_ saturizing
the line. But I decided that it's not very polite to use a parallel
fetching tool under these circumstances...
I would bet that has more to do with traffic shaping on your connection
to the external world than anything to do with the local bandwidth, in
which case you could probably parallel all you want w/o improving
download performance.
