Abstract

A method and system of managing downloads of a file from a server. A determination is made of whether or not a number of current connections between a client and the server is less than a preset threshold number, exceeding one, of allowable concurrent connections with the server. If the determination is that the number of current connections is less than the preset threshold number, responsive to a request by the client to download the file pursuant to another connection between the client and the server, the computer establishes the other connection between the client and the server and downloads the file to the client via the other connection. If the determination is that the number of current connections is at least the preset threshold number, the computer denies a request by the client to download the file from the server using another connection between the client and the server.
