Incorrect. A lot of the work of transferring a file is waiting for
the data to arrive. POE can wait for data to arrive in parallel
without threading.
POE::Component::Client::FTP may or may not be programmed to allow
this, but POE can do it. It's a common misunderstanding to say "POE"
when you mean "a module using POE". POE's authors have little control
over how it's used.

Hi guy,
Some basic questions about POE.
For example, in the module: POE::Component::Client::FTP
http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/POE-Component-Client-FTP-0.22/lib/POE/Component/Client/FTP.pm
What I see is the old sequential ftp operations now being replaced by
some call back handlers and they will trigger automatically.
But the speed of the whole FTP operations (e.g. login, download, and
bye) should remain the same (or slower in fact due to overhead).
So if I want to have faster speed, e.g. download more then one files
at the same time, I need to use thread and POE together?
Am I correct?
Thanks.
