$ pget -p 6 https://git.kernel.org/torvalds/t/linux-6.5-rc2.tar.gz
[WARNING] Using a large number of connections to 1 URL can lead to DOS attacks.
In most cases, `4` or less is enough. In addition, the case is increasing that if you use multiple connections to 1 URL does not increase the download speed with the spread of CDNs.

Would you execute knowing these?

I am also running into issues where range requests are not supported by servers and I was anticipating using pget. I think this isn't really fixable by pget, at least insofar as I don't think it can -resume- these downloads, but perhaps a flag could be added that says "if range request not available, overwrite if exists"?
