Something is missing at the very left side of the Release tag here.

There are naming guidelines for snapshot packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages

Is this a pre-release or a post-release?

At  https://code.google.com/p/yum-axelget/downloads/list  there is a file
yum-axelget-1.0-0.3.20130617.fc18.noarch.rpm that's only four days old.


> Summary:        A plugin for Yum based on Axel that accelerates your 
> download's rate

In Anaconda and package tools, which display these summaries, it looks better
(and more concise) when omitting these leading articles:

  Summary: Download accelerator plug-in for Yum
  Summary: Plug-in for Yum that accelerates download speed

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Examples_of_good_package_summaries

Mentioning that "Axel" is being used as the backend is an unimportant detail in
my opinion. It would be entirely okay to have just the %description explain
that.


> Requires:       axel, yum-presto, yum-plugin-fastestmirror

Not "yum" as a direct requirement?


> %description
> The following Yum plugin based on Axel speeds up your 
> yum downloads ...

Pedantic: "... Yum downloads". One could split the description into more
shorter sentences and drop tech-details, such as "opening ports" or
marketing-speak, such as "dramatically speeds up your update experience".

  %description
  This is a plug-in for the Yum package tool. It speeds up your downloads
  using the Axel download accelerator client.
