The primary target for development in terms of download is the internal (libcurl) downloader. I will not consider patches for implementing multiple transfers via XferCommand until it is implemented in the internal downloader. The implementation for both will overlap somewhat and maintaining support for non-basic features of the external downloader will never take precedence over implementing new features for the internal downloader. So I prefer not to implement a feature that we may deliberately break the remove in the future. Allan
