Bug Description
system-image currently includes a built-in downloader with a configuration variable that tells it how many threads to use for parallel downloads. This is very useful since an update can require many files each of several MB, and doing those downloads in series can slow the update process.
One approach for parallelism could be on a group-download granularity. IOW, if I request download of a single file, it's fine to serialize them. If I request 10 files be downloaded as part of a group, they can be parallelized in the most efficient way possible.
