So, I open one TCP socket to server, and it starts sending me 
data. Your internet connection speed is max 10Gb/s. You calculate 
the download speed, and it is at its max. Opening another TCP 
socket to server wouldn't make any difference. The only case that 
would make sense is if the server limits the upload speed of each 
TCP socket. Unless you are in this position, I do not expect to 
see any difference by opening multiple sockets and requesting 
different parts of same file.
