I feel sure the original questioner was referring to the ability of
the Windows GetRight downloader to divide the file to be downloaded
into up to 10 (number is user-specified) contiguous equal chunks and
download them all in parallel, resulting in a single downloaded file,
but up to 10 times faster download.

No respondent has yet identified any Linux download software with
this (simple & obvious (& necessary IMO)) capability.
