Hello people,
I have 5 directories corresponding 5 different urls .I want to

simultaneously
do I have to use threads?
No. You could spawn 5 copies of wget (or curl or a Python program
that
you've written). Whether or not that will perform better or be
easier to
code, debug and maintain depends on the other aspects of your
program(s).

Obviously, spawning 5 copies of wget is equivalent to starting 5
threads.
The answer is 'yes'.

Process != thread
