In a previous post, you asked about portability to Unix. I am writing a
multi-threaded http download program in Linux. The back end http stuff
already works fine. It shouldn't be too difficult for me to make it generic
enough for general consumption.
Getting it to run in Windows would be significantly harder, though, since it
uses socket stuff which has not been set up to run in Windows (not TOO hard
to fix) as well as POSIX threads (very hard to fix, unless I am badly

way.
Before anyone asks, the reason it's multi-threaded is because with a cable
modem you can get significant download performance gains by do multiple
simultaneous downloads.
