For example you can split the file into 10 simultaneous downloads and have each one download from a different server (found in the integrated server search) in order to maximize your bandwidth. I can usually download using close to 100% of my bandwidth when I do this (650-750k/sec vs 300 or so)

Not to mention nice pausing/resuming features
