What is better for bandwidth?
- you connect to 10 relays and download 1MB from each
- you connect to 1 relay and download 10MB from it

second one. i avoid wasting a bunch of bites to do the handshake and protocol upgrade. 😎
Defnitly the second is better for downloading. But wouldn't in an ideal world every note use the minimum amount of space? Therefore be saved in one relay. And every follower downloads it from there.
Then maby instead of one I choose two or three for redundancy. And the download works same like torrenting, as you explained to lower download bandwith.
That world is the same world we're living in now.
