OK, so a typical webserver will put out 10MBit, but if you have 100MBit you could download from 8 or 9 different servers at full speed.
A nice thought - but at the present time, you are very unlikely to get such high speed links to most servers in the first place, especially ones outside of the uk, or in smaller datacentres - and even if you managed it, if any other people connected and started downloading, the speed would start to fall, or even nose dive.
