Ever wondered if you could download the same file from multiple mirrors/bittorrent at simultaneously.The download speeds are incredible especially for folks in Universities etc where bittorrents might be banned.
With http://www.metalinker.org/ there is a way to do that.
All you need is a tool which understand metalinks like free/open source downloads like aria2 at http://aria2.sourceforge.net/ or wxdownloadfast at http://sourceforge.net/projects/dfast/
You can download knoppix 5.1.1 using metalink by downloading the metalink file from http://www.metalinker.org/samples.html
Metalinker was covered on slashdot.org awhile ago here is a link http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/25/144209
