Right now there are no plans to support metalink.  Axel already supports
downloads from multiple mirrors and priority is to support a bunch of
other things like using different IPs of the same DNS name etc..

Also, the idea is to keep axel as small and simple as possible and only
support HTTP/FTP.

Cheers,

Giridhar
