The difference seems to be that you restricted yourself to three threads,

Just add -THREADS=10 to the command line.

Try varying the number 2/3/5/10 and see what works best for you. With my connection, the throughput is purely down to the download speed, but if you are on broadband, the network latency may come into play. Chossing the right balance of simultaneous requests versus bandwidth is a suck-it-and-see equation. It will depend on a lot of things including time of day, locations etc.

You can also use -PATH=tmp/ to tell it wher to put the files.

You really need to be doing more than 10 sites for a reasonable test anyway.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.

Silence betokens consent.

Love the truth but pardon error.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
