Or there's always aria2 which can do multiple downloads from multiple
mirrors (AND torrents!):

with file called URLS containing:
http://www.simonserver.org/kubunut804.iso
http://www.reinierserver.org/kubunut804.iso
http://www.lugmirror.org/kubunut804.iso

aria2c -j 3 -i URLS

Nice...

If you use -j 6, then (theoretically), it'll open 2 connections per
server in the URLS file.
