I have a 4mb connection. Usually when I download from BT, Im using sources that never use the entirity of my download connection. Im not mindful of that, as my box is 24/7. But of course I would like to download things quicker 
Lets say I want to download 4 items at once. Usually I have noticed that my connections on Windows would get flooded or I would be using too much upstream or if I am having more than 4 items downloading then I wouldnt be getting the optimised downstream for each item being downloaded or everything would slow to a standstill, as too many items are being downloaded.
So, now I use VMware. I have 4 windows xp VMs open. I put BT on each box and I have 1 item downloading per each session. The result? Each item downloaded gets 45-70k, where previously if all items were on 1 box. Each item would get 10-15k. Now, I can say I am using the whole of the line for items with poor sources, etc.
My question is this
Is there a bit torrent program that can download 1 item, but then only a certain block or certain amount of bytes. Lets say 1 quarter of it?
What I want to do, is download 1 item across those 4 machines and then some how put it together?
I doubt anything exists, but its worth asking right? If it is possible, I could download things very very fast, by using more VM machines
Oh yeah and if anyone asks.... why?
Lets say I downloaded a file that is 700mb. It usually takes around 7 hours. If I had 10 machines, all doing 70mb. Then it would take just 1 hour
