FastDownload - command line multi-threaded segmented download tool
FastDownload is a command-line downloader for Windows environments. This tool is portable, you can put it on your USB memory stick and run it anywhere you go, no installation required. It is very powerful and versatile and can match some of the best graphical downloaders around today. It has features such as multiple downloads, multiple protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP), bandwidth control, handle authentication, and much more.
Non-interactiveness FastDownload is non-interactive in the sense that, once started, it does not require user interaction and does not need to control a TTY, being able to redirect standard output to log its progress to a separate file for later inspection. That way the user can start FastDownload and leaving the program unattended. By contrast, most graphical or text user interface web browsers require the user to remain logged in and to manually restart failed downloads, which can be a great hindrance when transferring a lot of data.

nice tool but needs many improvements:
1. ability to specify the number of segments to download 2. ability to continue a previous started download. 3. show download status in window title 4. set download time out
Thanks

Very valuable tool!
Some suggestions: - let "save as name" for urls to be defined directly in external file with urls to download individually for every url - let to control number of simultaneous downloads and time shift for start of every next file
