Let’s say I need to grab a large EPUB/PDF (60MB+) from a site with multiple mirrors. What often happens is I go the mirror, cut/paste the link, and watch as the file slowly trickles in before ultimately failing. So I go to the next mirror and the process repeats. Is there a way I can plug all the separate links into a software manager and download the file concurrently in chunks from the different servers, torrent style? Or at least resume the download at a fresh link? I downloaded Persepolis on Linux Mint, but it doesn’t seem to do anything differently than the browser.
