1 it only work if you know for the same file multiple source OR the server has an restriction per connection that you broke through multiple connections 2 you need the posibility to fetch more the one stream on the same time - that mean process forking with IPC or - single main loop that coordinate what stream goes where I think that the maintainer nor the mass of the user would like to see an forking wget since it become hard to debug and not only speed up download but also cost much more load. The other version with "select" and one single loop mean an general rewrite of nearly the compleate code of wget. And i can tell you from another procect where i use multiple server and client connections with diferent staate this need extrem good planning. And there was the topic up some days/weeks ago and the conclusion was that it would not come the next time. Cu Thomas Lu�nig
