You're downloading a single resource, so do pipelining for a single file just adds a lot of complexity with no added benefits.

Or to put it another way, if you want to go crazy with range headers, you will need n separate connections to take advantage of it, not pipelining.

But in general you would be far better off finding out why a single connection does not maximise available bandwidth, and attempting to fix that.
