Mmh I'm perhaps a bit tired, but will try to answer:
I would do it mostly as you, but:
-we should know what script is for what website to accept downloads of 
contents
-for the content we should use another existing transfer-plugin, so if we have 
parsed the script output, we would do KGet::addTransfer(url, dest);

The threads per downloads are controlled by the multisegkio plugin then...
