Why would you use threads for that? There's no good reason to abandon

i mean to download using multiple connections for each section (say 4
scetions/streams) of the same file. this genereally increases the
download speed if you are behined a firewall and bandwidth per
connection is low.

memory protection. I'm not convinced that multiple connections to a
server for one file makes any sense unless you're trying to skirt
administrative restrictions on bandwith per connection or something
like that, but even if it does why wouldn't you go with fork()?

It is more likely that you'd want multiprocessing if you're connecting
to multiple remote servers, but using processes instead of threads is
likely to be more robust and easier to maintain. There's no reason to

multiple threads are more efficient as compared to multiple precesses
and synchronisation too is easier i suppose. any comments?

share all your memory.
