Axel does parallel downloads splitting a file by default into 6 or 7 parts
and downloading each part simultaneously then recombining them at the end
of the download.

For large file downloads? Using curl & wget are likely about the same
for the stock usage.
However, for multiple files, you can use curl's "--parallel" and
"--parallel-max" options to download multiple files at the same time.
The curl blog mentions other tools that do "same file splitting"
https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2019/07/22/curl-goez-parallel/
but doesn't mention any particular such utilities by name.

I know about axel and want to leave axel out of this comparison
since some web sites block axel though for large files when axel
can be used it's well worth the time savings.
