Thanks Daniel!

I guess the multi interface is about to become better tested! 8)

I am at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/curl/curl/docs/ right
now looking for the documentation!

Can you tell I'm psyched? (I didn't want to have to rewrite many of curl's
features.)

Subject: Re: multiple simultaneous transfers

<excerpt>

libcurl supports multiple concurrent transfers in two ways:

1. Run multiple threads, one curl handle and curl_easy_perform() in each
   thread.

2. Use the multi interace, add all transfers to the multi handle and have
   them transfered simultaneously using a single thread.

Approach 1 has been tried numerous times and is very well tried. Approach 2
is much less tested, but a generally nicer way to do this. It is also much
more portable.

The docs for the multi interface is still only present in CVS, due to appear
as web pages any day now...
