SPEED UP DOWNLOADS

stenrulz's Photo stenrulz 12 Dec 2008

Hi, i would like to see more then connection per file like what download them all (Firefox) does. This will allow people to get there files at a great speed. download mangers, etc all have this in them, why does auto patcher not?

Thanks. even, if some one just creates a edited version that does this, i would like this a lot.

Depending on what you are doing, more than one connection can slow you down, not speed things up. The users of DownThemAll find this as well.

Servers that have bandwidth control will block multiple connections anyway. It's a waste of time trying it with Microsoft.

Also it is worth remembering that APUP is NOT a download manager. It is an updater. Only a little part of APUP's task is to download. It is like Firefox's updater, not like DownThemAll.
