It's true that it wouldn't be great to open all the connections parallel. But instead of makeing an update which takes a few minutes every 4 hours we could simple update it patch-by-patch one after the next. We have 4 hours to update them ...
BTW: I have an NNTP Server here. Believe me: I wouldn't notice the diffrence. :-)
