Is there a multi-threaded app like wget that will DL parts in parallel ?
It's much quicker !!
Define "parts". I have used wget to download 3 or 4 different .iso
images in parallel. Like the several CDs that make up a Linux
distribution. Somewhere between 3 and 4 this maxes out my RoadRunner
connection.
Then there are the bit-torrent file sharing programs. In that case,
someone has defined a .torrent control file. The download, which may
be several files, is done as a multiplicity of small chunks. I have
seen 16 going simultaneously. On a good day a bit-torrent download
can max out RoadRunner. (600kB/sec for me).
