Problem is that metalink file exists for CDs, but not for DVD.
Yes - so far, the metalinks don't exist for beta DVDs. But this will change with the next beta. (As I mentioned in my first mail, http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-factory/2008-11/msg00251.html which I'm sure you have read, but let me just reference it for newcomers in the thread.)
The DVD iso is special service from Eberhard, not present on other mirrors, so I had to edit metalink file, to include special /dvd directory, or torrent file not to create subdirectory.
Exactly, so far the DVDs are "special Eberhard service" (there are a few other mirrors btw), but beginning with the next beta, the isos will be in-tree, so they can become "normal Eberhard service" :-)
Then another problem is that aria2c will open 5 connections to each source by default. I need max 2 to use my bandwidth.
The upstream default was recently increased from 2 to 5 connections, which may be too much under some circumstances. So be sure to adjust it, see the -s/--split option. We might need to tune that default a bit, so that it is as adequate as possible for mirrors and users.
