I can, but have other things to do.  Since I use Linux (and you might be
able to use screen), I can open up several consoles and run multiple
instances.

There was a pointer to what may be an easier way given in another message,
so there may be something I am not aware of.  I looked into it within what
I know of the source and couldn't do something as easy as a simple fork
somewhere, and the rest of the changes necessary after installing the 
fork would take a while to implement and have portability problems (I can 
rename a link but not copy a file until the download was complete).
