When I speak of "multiple files" and "persistant connections" I don't mean
parallel download, as in downloading more than one file at a single given
moment.

Adding special support for parallel download is not what I consider
important. Anyone can already use libcurl today and just fork off new threads
to do parallel downloads. I don't see this as a vital library feature.

I'd rather not work with parallel downloads with the same libcurl handles and
stuff since sharing the same data resources in multiple threads means much
OS-specifics and nasty stuff I'd rather have libcurl stay away from.

No. You need multiple connections.
