Yeah,that's what we need to improve in the future,to be more convenient 
for testers to participate in testing.If your downloading speed is slow, 
do you like to try this?
[root at localhost nfs]# cat /bin/download.sh
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/lftp -c "pget -n 20 $1"

[root at localhost nfs]# download.sh iso-download-address

I download from US server in China, about 1.2M/s
