One solution that comes to mind is place all 1000 web pages in an MVar containing a queue of URLs to process (a list will probably suffice), and then use Orc to orchestrate six threads that pull a page from the queue and make a download. Admittedly, Orc doesn't buy you very much in this scenario until you add timeout handling and such.
