Summary: speedup single thread download

Initial Comment:
Some applications(itunes for example) download with one thread, it is very very slow(<50KB/s) sometimes, it will take many hours to download a 100+MB app.

I think while privoxy get a request for a large file, privoxy can fork some threads the prefetch the large file. That should be able to speed up the download.

Is that possible?
Could you please add this feature.

Thank you.
