Download from several sources simultaneously?

Hey,

Does anyone know of a download script / program, that allows you to specify
a few urls as sources to the file you wish to download, and download from all these urls
simultaneously?

This way downloading ISOs will take a lot less time...

Thanks
Fiod

There's some stuff here about different download techniques that might be what you're looking for:
