Why multiple connections? Is this just for speed, a bit like these "download accelerators"? Just a tip-off, but from what I've read, this could be disastrous. The accelerators work fine up to a point - that point being at which a router gets overloaded. And due to a design failure (basically hardware and software guys not talking to each other) if a router does overload, it basically locks up :-( And the router that overloads is nearly always the edge router between the internet and the office. I think I've managed to do exactly that on a couple of occasions, and the internet simply *appears* to die, until you kill the downloads.
