What you are saying is correct, but things like DAP with multiple connections do help in certain situations. I have many experiences in which wget got me 40kbps max while my friend with DAP with upto 4-5 simultaneous connection to same server got upto 120kbps. Its not unit problem, as is apparent in comparing lets say wsftp speed with cute-ftp. May be because I am behind the firewall, but multiple connections to servers when they allow can help.
I will check out that chachelo out someday. IF its abt joes, harping abt cron/at wont help much.
