Firefox Download Question

Post by Trytostaydead »

How do I enable more than two simultaneous downlods with Firefox? Annoying the hell out of me.

I just had a quick look through about:config, and didn't find anything that looks like a limiter on the number of simultaneous downloads.

Sometimes certain websites will only let you download one file at a time from them, however...

I think what he refers to, is how extremely slow Firefox takes to download anything, such that its almost impossible to download several files at the same time.

Heh, my pic collection had several thousand files in it, and choosing to save a file took an entire minute when my RAM is low....

I don't bother with letting the browser download anything > 2 megs at all- I don't trust browser download resume. I just copy and paste into a file listing stuff for wget to download.
