Hello, I prepared a couple of alternative method to invoke parallel download but ONLY for external tool (xfer) and not for internal curl.

I would like to have a feedback so I can eventually fix them. You can find patch file and explanation of the methodology used here; https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20056?project=3

The primary target for development in terms of download is the internal (libcurl) downloader. I will not consider patches for implementing multiple transfers via XferCommand until it is implemented in the internal downloader. The implementation for both will overlap somewhat and maintaining support for non-basic features of the external downloader will never take precedence over implementing new features for the internal downloader. So I prefer not to implement a feature that we may deliberately break the remove in the future. Allan
