   I know that it has GUI (for some unknown to me reason). I never
   installed the GUI version though (and never seen it). I can't even
   find a reason to do so. So the GUI in CVSup is something artificial.

   Multithreadness in CVSup... well, as any "downloader" it could
   be done multithreaded (and by your words CVSup is done that way),
   and it can provide some gain, but it's not a must-be.

   So, I referred not to the way the CVSup *was* implemented, but to
   what language features are *enough* to implement it.

   Relax. Personally I do not care what language csup/CVSup is written
   in as long I could read/change the code without reading dusty
   books. If you prefer C -- that's perfectly okay.
