Since fetching dependencies usually saturates the network connection, that wouldn't save much time (or do you just mean fetching the package recipes in parallel?).
No, I mean fetching the full package in parallel.
But because it also requires full dependency resolution, it would have a considerable impact on server load.
Does it really take that much resources?
And of course that would make it impossible to use a simple file server as a package registry.
How important is that? The client could first try the API call to give the full set of dependencies, if that fail, fallback to the current approach.
