Many assume that the limit of simultaneous download form a server is limited only to Internet Explorer but as it’s a web standard to limit the number of simultaneous download to 2, Firefox also falls under the same category. When you click a couple of files to download in Firefox you might have noticed everything adding up in the download manager but only two files get downloaded form a server at any time.
Note : You might have seen Firefox downloading more than two files at the same time but they may be from different servers.
So, how to increase the number of simultaneous download limit per server in Firefox?
Step 1 : Open Firefox and type about:config in the address bar
Step 2 : Search for network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server by entering this in the filter field.
Step 3 : by default this would have set to 2, double click and set this digit to a higher number preferably under 10 to increase the simultaneous download limit per server.Also check out ‘ How to Increase the Number of Simultaneous Download Limit in IE? ’
