Problem

There is one large file in my server. I find that multi thread download can get 20Mbs, but single thread can get 10Mbps, can anyone explain this?

Fix for: Why is multi thread downloading faster than single thread?

Low Risk

Usually this is because somewhere between you and the other server there's a firewall limiting each HTTP stream to 10Mbps. When you use multi-thread, you get 2x 10Mb (one for each thread).
