In my tests, parallel downloads were noticeably faster:
9m3.351s vs. 14m13.682.  I would expect pipelined to be even faster than
parallel.

Yes.  The bazaar-ng.org web server is misconfigured-- it reports
content-coding: gzip for gzipped files, but content-coding is supposed
to mean 'compressed for transport', not 'this file happens to be a
compressed file'.  I monkey-patched GzipFile into oblivion to fix that
in my effbot version.

Yes, something like that would be very nice.
