The intention is to ensure that JMeter threads behave like independent
users - no sharing of connections.

If JMeter were to share a connection manager between threads, then I
think that would no longer be the case.

However, we might perhaps need to use those connection managers to
sort out the parallel download issues.

Note that this is one of the problems with the Java HTTP
implementation - there is no control over connection re-use.
