Downloading the upstream sources takes some time for large sources and/or slow links. It would make sense to do this in parallel with the build, they are not required until the build phase has completed. The framework for downloading in background would also be useful (prerequisite?) for #166
Part of this would be to move the downloading from the init code to a regular check. Today's solution makes it hard to disable the downloading while testing. It would also be better to have one single framework for tests running in background (repoquery!) than a ad-hoc solution for downloads
