[help] Firefox Download Manager

Is there a way to increase the number of simultaneous downloads? I can't seem to download more than two things at once.

I'd like to know also. I know how to do it in IE.

First type about:config in the url bar. Where it says filter, type connections and press enter. Then double click on the values and change them.

Thanks for the info.

So, I guess you'd change the one set to "2" as default. I've just changed it, and I'll give it a shot.

EDIT: Nope, doesn't seem to work for me

Works for me. I just tried it and had 5 going at once.

do you mean the number of connections to the server?

you can add this to your user.js file: user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 20);

about:config is just as useful, though.

This is a windows' limitation and not firefrox. See this thread on how to hack the registry:

is the number of simultaneous downloads the same as the number of network connections?

mine is set to 20, but i'm unable to download more than 2 files at once. the download manager seems to queue them.

I'm using flyakite's 4.0 package which includes a registry hack for the number of simulataneous downloads as well.

i believe thats for IE only, i may be wrong though.
