Increase simultaneous download limit

Increase simultaneous download limit

Web browsers these days will only run a finite amount of concurrent downloads from the one server. It used to be two, but Firefox 3 has increased this to six. To increase this further in Firefox:

In the browser address bar, type about:config and hit enter. Click the I'll be careful, I promise! button
In the Filter field, enter network.http.m to limit the results
Double click on network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server, and enter the amount of simultaneous downloads you'd like from the server
