Python实现多线程下载文件的代码实例

实现简单的多线程下载，需要关注如下几点：
1.文件的大小：可以从reponse header中提取，如“Content-Length:911”表示大小是911字节
2.任务拆分：指定各个线程下载的文件的哪一块，可以通过request header中添加“Range: bytes=300-400”（表示下载300~400byte的内容），注意可以请求的文件的range是[0, size-1]字节的。
3.下载文件的聚合：各个线程将自己下载的文件块保存为临时文件，所有线程都完成后，再将这些临时文件按顺序聚合写入到最终的一个文件中。

实现代码：
代码如下:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# filename: paxel.py
# FROM: http://jb51.net/code/view/58/full/
# Jay modified it a little and save for further potential usage.
