I'm not sure what you mean. This is a multithreaded HTTP client app, right?
Do you have multiple network connections and want to use more than one?

If yes, then that's an issue of configuring the routing on your computer
appropriately (if that is at all possible, I doubt it's easy).

I'd also be surprised if you could saturate a 100 MBit link with a HTTP
spider.
