Yes,I've seen that. But it's not active to download using multi threads. If the network is slow and only one repository, it will not try to download in multi threads that is the proper condition to use this pattern. I wanna know if it's ok that I modify codes to let users to choose if they're using multi threads and how many threads they are using. But if that's impolite to repository server, I will not do that.
