Summary: Slow threads should be replaced 


Initial Comment:
When downloading a big file you may add several mirrors, a few of which will be faster then the others.  When they are done they should systematically replace the slower threads, or further split the file to maintain the high speeds.

Message:
Version v0.2 of patch solves problem with state files. However, structure of state file is now different, therefore do not mix unfinished downloads between versions.

I have tested it with FTP, HTTP and using multiple servers.
print_alternate_output() still has some glitches.

P.S. I tried to use codereview.appspot.com, but I get following message: "Patch set contains no recognizable patches".

Message:
"Slow thread" is a fuzzy term, so I did only second part of the proposal.
When one thread is finished, split largest unfinished part in two pieces.
Here is a patch:

Developers: I said similar thing before, tell me if you would like to 
see some improvement on this patch.

Enjoy,
