https and multi-connect command-line download tool?

[mwtb]

I'm looking for a command-line download tool that will handle downloads via authenticated (userassword) https and supports multiple connections to speed things up.

wget does the https, but not the multiple connections.

axel and aget do multiple connections, but not https.

I find it hard to believe there isn't something in the wide world of linux utils that does this.

Try lftp.

Thanks, that does the job nicely. I knew there had to be something.
