In case of HTTP, the needed header is "Range". So I guess its all a
matter of making n connections, and specifying total_size/n consecutive
ranges in each request.
But be aware that the range is possibly nor supported - no idea how that
is communicated.
Googling reveals this:

Use that, or look at it and reprogram it accordingly.
