You've got a multi-tasking system.  Why not run as many copies of
wget as you want?


I think he want to download multiple parts of the same file 
simultaneously and assembly the file at the end of the downloads. 
Multiple copies of wget would not get the job done.


Is that useful on a high-latency satellite link or something?

Use lftp. Very cool ftp client.

It has the usual get and put commands, but you can also say pget (for 
parallel get). It'll run multple simultanous gets on different segements 
of the desired file. Does a nice job of saturating your NIC.

yum install lftp

Hello All,

I am looking for a utility that can start multiple simultaneous
downloads of a file. I was looking into wget, but it doesn't seem like
that it can do that.

Any thoughts?
