Double-clutching is the proper way to downshift without placing excessive wear on the transmission's synchronizers. It is not used for driving straight. It's used more in autocross with turns and curvy roads to come out of turns faster. Basically it's down shifting while disengaging the clutch twice and putting it in neutral inbetween those times you disengage the clutch...
Say you're comin' up on a turn in 4th gear, you'd disengage the clutch, shift into neutral, engage the clutch, press on the gas to rev the engine to where the rpms would be, (as if in 3rd) disengage the clutch, shift into 3rd gear, engage clutch, and you're on your way out of the turn and you've just double clutched.
FYI TF&TF did not use "double clutching" correctly. Why would you ever downshift when going straight...
some movies!
This is how I've understood double-clutching, if anyone wants to add anything to what I said feel free...
EDIT: Dang! In the time it took me to type and post that, 32 ppl posted before me. When I started, no one had posted, lol.

Kids like your are responsible for my insurance rates, and being tailed by CHPs for going 70 in a 65. Grow up please, or wrap yourself around a tree... whichever is quicker.
