It'll only reconnect for every 10 files. At least the latest version
does, you may have to upgrade wget. (Not that that'll make a major
difference in speed...)
If you want better response times, HTTP is usually the superior
protocol.

Due to the way wget works (no HTTP pipelining support), it'll never be
quite as fast as downloading the whole big ISO in one go.

Yes.

Mostly. Check <http://www.debian.org/misc/README.mirrors> for the
latest list.

It already does that for FTP. It also does it for HTTP servers which
support HTTP 1.1 (i.e. most of them).

The MD5SUMS file is GPG-signed, usually by Phil.

That sounds strange - jigdo certainly isn't /that/ slow...
