 The thing I figure is: after downloading a single multi part binary 

the CPU will top downloading, it will decode (UU, mime, or Yenc) the parts, 

then concatenate them, then save the binary file, all this time (1 second) 

it is not downloading anything.
With 4 separate strings going, while one string stops downloading, the other
three are still sucking.
  The modern high speed CPU's and fast memory allow this background
multi-tasking.  With a 10 MHz 386 the downloading speed would
most likely drop to a crawl or stop with the decoding process etc.
Strictly my opinion.
