多线程以加快下载速度

如何同时下载多个链接？我的下面的脚本可以工作，但一次只能下载一个，而且速度非常慢。我不知道如何在我的脚本中合并多线程。

Python 脚本：

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import lxml.html as html
import urlparse
import os, sys
import urllib2
import re

print ("downloading and parsing Bibles...")
root = html.parse(open('links.html'))
for link in root.findall('//a'):
  url = link.get('href')
  name = urlparse.urlparse(url).path.split('/')[-1]
  dirname = urlparse.urlparse(url).path.split('.')[-1]
  f = urllib2.urlopen(url)
  s = f.read()
  if (os.path.isdir(dirname) == 0): 
    os.mkdir(dirname)
  soup = BeautifulSoup(s)
  articleTag = soup.html.body.article
  converted = str(articleTag)
  full_path = os.path.join(dirname, name)
  open(full_path, 'w').write(converted)
  print(name)

HTML 文件名为links.html:

<a href="http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.1.nmv-fas">http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.1.nmv-fas</a>

<a href="http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.2.nmv-fas">http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.2.nmv-fas</a>

<a href="http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.3.nmv-fas">http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.3.nmv-fas</a>

<a href="http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.4.nmv-fas">http://www.youversion.com/bible/gen.4.nmv-fas</a>

I use multiprocessing用于并行化事物——出于某种原因，我更喜欢它threading

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
import lxml.html as html
import urlparse
import os, sys
import urllib2
import re
import multiprocessing


print ("downloading and parsing Bibles...")
def download_stuff(link):
  url = link.get('href')
  name = urlparse.urlparse(url).path.split('/')[-1]
  dirname = urlparse.urlparse(url).path.split('.')[-1]
  f = urllib2.urlopen(url)
  s = f.read()
  if (os.path.isdir(dirname) == 0): 
    os.mkdir(dirname)
  soup = BeautifulSoup(s)
  articleTag = soup.html.body.article
  converted = str(articleTag)
  full_path = os.path.join(dirname, name)
  open(full_path, 'w').write(converted)
  print(name)

root = html.parse(open('links.html'))
links = root.findall('//a')
pool = multiprocessing.Pool(processes=5) #use 5 processes to download the data
output = pool.map(download_stuff,links)  #output is a list of [None,None,...] since download_stuff doesn't return anything
