I didn't know, that one was allowed to use this list for advertisement
purposes. (And I can't see how someone would be able to patent something
like this) I actually used simple shell script utilizing following method,
with my previous isp, when transfering large files (few years back).

Upload file 'foo.tgz' using 3 concurrent streams:

- STOR foo.tgz (transfer first chunk)
- STOU foo.tgz, or STOR foo.tgz.1 (transfer second chunk)
- STOU foo.tgz, or STOR foo.tgz.2 (transfer third chunk)

Once all chunks have been transfered, use site to site transfers to
merge chunks.

- REST z
- PASV
- STOR foo.tgz
- PORT a,b,c,d,x,y
- RETR foo.tgz.1
- DELE foo.tgz.1
...
