Description: This function leverages BITS service for downloading many files from a source file with URLs, one per line.
The function multithreads, runs in the background asyncronously, can add more files to the queue realtime,
is idempotent, fault tolerant, can resume partially downloaded files.

.SYNOPSIS
Downloads all the URLs listed in the source download list and saves them in the target destination.
.DESCRIPTION
This function leverages BITS service for downloading many files from a source file with URLs, one per line.
The function multithreads, runs in the background asyncronously, can add more files to the queue realtime,
is idempotent, fault tolerant, can resume partially downloaded files.
.PARAMETER source
What list to read in for source files.
.PARAMETER target
Where files will be downloaded to.
.PARAMETER extension
File extension that's being used to find the file name in the download URLs.
.PARAMETER maxconcurrent
Max concurrent downloads
.EXAMPLE
Get-DownloadFiles -source c:\sourceURLlist.txt -destination d:\downloads -extension mp3
This will download all the URL links in c:\sourceULRlist.txt, parse out the mp3 files and save them to d:\downloads
