"I need to download some web pages in parallel."

"Here's tremendously large and complex framework.  Download, install,
and learn this large and complex framework.  Then you can write your
very simple throwaway script with ease."

Is the twisted solution even shorter?  Doing this with threads I'm
thinking would be on the order of 20 lines of code.
