DESCRIPTION
    This is not a library to build a parallel downloader on top of. It is a
    downloading client build on top of AnyEvent::HTTP.

    Its goal is not to be better, faster, or smaller than anything else. Its
    goal is to provide the user with a single function they can call with a
    bunch of HTTP requests and which gives them the responses for them with
    as little fuss as possible and most importantly, without downloading
    them in sequence.

    It handles the busywork of grouping requests by hosts and limiting the
    amount of simultaneous requests per host, separate from capping the
    amount of overall connections. This allows the user to maximize their
    own connection without abusing remote hosts.

    Of course, there are facilities to customize the exact limits employed
    and to add logging and such; but "async_download" is the premier piece
    of API and should be enough for most uses.
