You can't have one instance of a program using one gateway to the same
destination and a different one running at the same time on the same
machine without serious tricks like VMWare.   If you can find a mirror
at a different address you can:
route add -host mirror_address gw alternate_gateway
Then download different isos from each site to use both lines at the
same time.  Anything but the address specified in the route command
will continue to go to the default gateway.  Or, use a different machine
with a different default gateway setting and drop the files in a shared
directory.  That approach will work even with a single remote address.
