h0ru5856y@Taqriaqsuk havent heard "download manager" for a while either...
but some old ideas still make sense.
I recently thought about making downloads where a lot of mirrors exist, e.g. packages & updates multi-point downloads, like having pacman resp. apt-get download a big libreoffice binary e.g. in 4 threads from 4 different mirrors. GetRight was a download manager in Windows that did this.
The reason is mainly that the mirrors can limit bandwidth for individual downloads while the clients can download at full speed from several mirrors, distributing load
