I missed the original question...

One thing to consider would be to have a list of hosts/urls you want,
and to open up all the sockets non-blocking, and then loop through
each socket and fread() data in a convenient-sized chunk and snag it.

This will make all the remote computers run "in parallel" to some degree.

This is most useful if the GETs you are doing are dynamic and take
awhile for the remote server to generate the output.
