huh ? How do you exactly say that it is not downloading simultaniously ? Do you realise that the simultanious downloading is still capped by your inernet connection ? So if I am on a dialup if I do mutli-parts or not the max I am gonna get is 4K. So you really will not see a speed difference. However get on a T1 line and see the difference. I have! Every software out there that does muti-part downloading launches several diff connections to the server. Only in cases of the servers which does not allow resuming and multiple connections from the same IP will the multi-parts not work.
i'm using prozilla, d4x, and wget for downloading files. I use prozilla mostly. Its a command line tool. look at the screenshot.

In the above case the file is splitted into 4 parts, and these 4 parts are downloading simultaneously, but not at the same instance of time. what i mean is that some 10 kb of part1 s downloaded, then 10kb of part2, then 10kb of part3, and so on. This is a continous process, but no two part is downloading at the same time.
And i'm using a 256 kbps broadband.
