Given that git/config will have information on remotes and maybe costs, it might be a good idea to do a simple round robin selection of remotes to download files where the costs are the same.

This of course assumes that we like the idea of "parallel" launching and running of curl/rsync processes...

This wish item is probably only useful for the paranoid people who store more than 1 copy of their data.

I dunno about parrallel downloads -- eek! -- but there is at least room for improvement of what "git annex get" does when there are multiple remotes that have a file, and the one it decides to use is not available, or very slow, or whatever.
