In other words - a download manager. Somebody patented a download manager. And in case anyone accuses me of knee-jerk hysteria, yes, I did read all the claims. They are describing every download manager on the planet that makes multiple connections to any given server, to download chunks of a file and re-assemble them in the correct order. It confuses the issue by making a claim about choosing "discrete unused TCP ports on the client system". Which is true of every single client-to-server TCP program in existence - like when your browser opens multiple HTTP connections to a web server.
