And the subsequent requests will be send while the first file is still
downloading and get intermixed with the neccessary ACKs. They just add
some payload to the ACKs so to speak.

The idea behind jigdo is that you have a fast local mirror (or last
weeks CD) with all the little files but only a slow remote mirror with
the iso.
Fetching all those files fast will be faster than the slow remote
mirror even with the overhead. If you also have the iso on a fast
mirror then getting that directly will be faster obviouly.
