    Wow, getright! That’s a throwback. I used that in the 90s.

    On linux I use aria2c for similar tasks. It can resume http downloads, as well as split them up into multiple threads for faster downloading.

    It’s cli-based and powerful (therefore perhaps a bit confusing at first), but there are UIs for it as well for a more get-rightty experience.

    I think jdownloader also has some application here, though it’s mostly for getting things from those ad-filled file hosting sites frequently used by those on the high seas

      Why would you multithread it except for heaving mutiple paths of entry to your home connection or you are getting a throttle from the file hoster?
