I use the latest installer, but it only uses one mirror to download

I selected only gives about 30KB/s, which makes installing Cygwin slow.
What I would like the installer to do is to download from all mirrors
in parallel different packages and in case one mirror doesn't respond
that it just drops that one and uses another one. The mirrors together
should be able to saturate my connection.

I'd like the installer to use a more intuitive UI, be more capable of running from the command line, and be able to handle RPMs.

FYI.
