[c-nsp] "Enhanced" download procedure

[Tassos Chatzithomaoglou]

There are a lot of factors that can influence your max download speed.
Instead of messing with TCP window parameters for a >200ms distance, i would prefer to 
open multiple connections for a small timeframe.
After all, i'm not going to download hundreds of images. I just need max speed for a few 
minutes...from anywhere.
