phttpget server file ...

The phttpget utility is a minimalist pipelined HTTP client, which is used to retrieve multiple files from one server, and saves the downloaded files in the current working directory, using the last portion of their download path as file names.

By making several "in flight" HTTP requests, it can dramatically increase performance when a large number of small files need to be downloaded.

The freebsd-update(8) and portsnap(8) tools use phttpget to download binary patch files.
