I remember changing to protocol-httpclient a while back, but I didn't notice
any speed-up. But then again, it is just too damn difficult to measure
download speed because it is not a controlled experiment (maybe when you
switch to httpclient, people start hammering those servers you are about to
fetch from, etc)

That being said, I remember reading that it is better to keep a connection
open (by using HTTP/1.1) than opening a new connection for each request. I
am not sure, but I think it is also easier on the server too....

It may be a good idea to update all external libraries before we release 1.0
if they are stable.
