This bug is different from bug #313680. This one says that downloading packages from different servers should happen in parallel whereas bug #313680 says that as soon as packages have completed downloading they should begin installing in parallel with the remaining download jobs. Both are speed optimizations, but I think think this bug is safer and simpler.
