Here is a template to order 2 files in one request for this one
Use all your creativity to order 3 files at once :-))

#
Split=0
Name=http file name here
Type=9
Port=80
Path=GET /folder/file.zip
Host=www.host.com

#
Split=500K
Name=ftp file name here
Type=9
Port=70
Path=GET /folder/file.zip
Host=ftp.host.com

this one DOES allow multiple URLs in one message. I even tried to
order 20+ pages at a time and it worked.

In mail body you need to write
get http://www.site1.com
get http://www.site2.com
etc.

AFAIK, this ones accept one URL per message.
But workarounds do exist.
For exmple, I have a couple of small programs that are able to
transform URLs list into a set of messages according to your template.
This messsages can be put into Outbox of your mail client or sent right
away. You can specify delay in seconds before sending next message so
as not to overload web<->mail server with a storm of simultaneous requests.

Another way is to use The Bat! - it is a mail client with terrific
template system. I guess no other mail client has so advanced
templates.

Just one example:
Imaginge you have this three lines inside your clipboard
http://site1.com
http://site2.com
http://site3.com
Your task is to generate a message like this

TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
   with this in mail body:
get http://site1.com
get http://site2.com
get http://site3.com

It takes just a couple of clicks (highlight GETWEB folder, than press
"New message" button) provided you have the following template
behind GETWEB folder:

%PREFIX("get ", %CLIPBOARD)
%TO="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I have several folders inside my The Bat! one for each
web<->mail server I use. And to each folder a specific template
is assigned.

Thanks to this, I am not annoyed even if a web<->mail server
accepts only one URL per request. Because with The Bat!
I generate 5 messages in time you create only one.
