Crash upon parallel download in Windows #20

Windows users report seeing unhanded exceptions when downloading in windows. errors originate from forking.py and contain the following odd message. 

RuntimeError:
           Attempt to start a new process before the current process
           has finished its bootstrapping phase.

           This probably means that you are on Windows and you have
           forgotten to use the proper idiom in the main module:

               if __name__ == '__main__':
                   freeze_support()
                   ...

           The "freeze_support()" line can be omitted if the program
           is not going to be frozen to produce a Windows executable.
