It is axel, http://wilmer.gaast.net/main.php/axel.html. You can specify the number of connections, multiple servers etc. Interesting thing is that you can limit the bandwidth it takes so that you can save some bandwidth for other programs to consume.
Here is a sample command for download ubuntu iso image from 3 servers with 50 connections.
axel -v -a -n 50 http://{mirrors.xmission.com/ubuntu-cd,us.releases.ubuntu.com,
mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/releases.ubuntu.com}/dapper/ubuntu-6.06.1-server-i386.iso
This page has some additional information on usage. http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/download-accelerator-for-linux-command-line-tools.html
