Use multiple download threads

It would be neat if we could download several files simultaneously.
Doing the download themselves shouldn't be difficult, I'm more concerned about the progress bars. Any ideas? Maybe just use a single bar and update it as each thread terminates?
Tqdm should be able to deal with this
Did a little digging and it seems that requests isn't really async-compatible. A good alternative seems to be HTTPX, https://www.python-httpx.org/async/
Postponing this for now.
