Hi,

For a brief rundown on metalinks, try one of these:

http://torrentfreak.com/metalinker-integrating-http-ftp-and-p2p/

http://www.downloadsquad.com/2006/08/28/metalinks-integrated-bittorrent-http
-and-ftp-downloads/

aria2 (metalink/bittorrent command line client) RPMs for FC 1,2,3 & RHEL 3,4
(i386 & x86_64) are available at: 
 
http://apt.sw.be/packages/aria2/

A CentOS metalink is at http://www.metalinker.org/samples.html#isos for
anyone who would like to try it out.

http://metalink.packages.ro/ which is run by one of the CentOS mirrors,
could automatically generate metalinks for you like it does for
OpenOffice.org.
