This guy Giorges is using Python and wget inorder to do parrallel downloading
and he is arguing that it is very fast.

Now my questions become
1) Does there exist a simple way that I can use wget without installing it ?
I dont want to bother users of my Maple application with installing a 3:rd party software.
A simple file in a specific location would be ok though
