I wasn't aware of the message ID threading i just used to make sure the subject is correct, i will take care of the message ID thing in future. However that does not give you the right to question how smartly i use the mail client or think of people like me as unfortunate. You can explain how threading works without personal digs about something you know and another person doesn't. Besides its not "harmful" though i can see why it may be a pain in the ass.
That said , the wget program does not all multi part downloads and that is something i would like. I did find a utility called axelq for axel that allows creation of a list file and runs the axel program for each item on the list.

Have you tried wget. GNU Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies. Use wget with shell scripting and you have your batch download program
!#/bin/bash wget -v http://example.com/file1.txt wget -v ftp://example.com/file2.doc wget -v http://example.com/file2
It is the part of wget package.
More importantly, why did you hijack the gaim/yahoo thread ? I have started a new thread for you. Please use it.
To start a new topic of discussion (commonly called a thread), compose a new message. Hit the "Write new message" button (or whatever button your client uses). Type in the address of the mailing list as the To address. This is the only way to actually start a new thread.
Please start a new thread instead of taking an already ongoing one, changing the subject line and posting it again. The subject line is only loosely related to the threading. Every mail message has a message-id. When you "reply" or "followup" to a message, you client is supposed to put a References header with the message-id of the message you are replying to.
If you use an existing thread, the result is that your question is buried below unrelated questions when looking at the mailing list in a threaded way. This is known as "Hijacking threads". It causes information to be lost and you'll be less likely to get an answer. In my mail client, all messages in the same thread are collapsed to a single line in my subjects list until i read the first one.
I'm sorry that most people don't use a mail client smart enough to display the mail messages in a threaded way. If I could, I would help every one of you unfortunate individuals change over to a better mail client. I realize that's impossible. For those of you that can't use a mail client that displays threads properly, please quit penalizing those of us that do. Stop hijacking threads.
I'm not intending this message as a flame. I'm simply trying to educate readers what "hijacking" the thread means and how it's harmful. If the majority of the list disagrees with me then we can all leave this subject behind. I thought I would describe how threading works.
