> How do you download the file using two threads?

If the server supports the "Range" request header, then you can have one 
thread send a request for one range of bytes, and the other thread can 
request a different range of bytes.  Then simply have them download to 
different areas of the same file, or download to separate files that you can 
concatenate together later on.

> Where do I start?  I know absolutely nothing about threads.

I suggest you look at the VCL's TThread class, and look at 
Borland/CodeGear's examples that ship with the IDE.
