Does anyone know of any download managers or apps that allow me to download the same file from multiple sources to increase the speed? Like say i want to download a demo from some game site, and all their mirrors are slow, can i then use some app to download from all the mirrors at the same time to max out my speed?

You cant do that from the same site. It logs youre ip and you can only use 1 mirror. Some sites rar or zip files so its hard to find exact file and size of original.

A really small number of sites do that.
