 Posted: Tue 22 Jun '10 4:56 Post subject: More Then 2 Connections |
 |
|
| I have music downloading on one of my sites and apache seems to only allow 2 files to be downloaded at a time... It will queue up other downloads or something... But then web pages won't load... Is there any way to allow apache to allow like 5 or 10 or even 20 connections at a time per ip or person... |

| Did you use any download tool or just your browser? |

| Just my browser... I know on some other sites I can start many downloads (up to 6)... But on mine I can only get 2 at a time. It might have nothing to do with Apache. I thought it might. |

Use a Download Manager like Download them all.
Most browser open only 2 Connection at one time to one domain. A trick to use different domains (some times sub domain). So the Browser "leeches" with 2 connection form many domains. In the download case there not such a chance if you don't use a different tool than the browser itself. How do you see the number of connection you download with? |

I download large mp3 files from my site...
It will only allow me to download 2 files at a time, when I click on the 3rd file, it just hangs until one of the two files is done. I think this is a little stupid. I'd allow like 6-10 connections at a time if I was making the browser... If torrents can handle that many connections, why should browsing the web be different.
But I have been on sites which allow more then two files to be downloaded at a time... With the same domain name... |

Are we talking your server on which platform? Windows? If so what version?
Windows XP and Vista IIRC have a 10 or 20 connection limit. It's not Apache, it's Windows. This was done to slow down the spread of malware. Most consider it a lame way to handle the problem, but that is what we got. I have no clue what if any limit is on Windows 7.
Where I am headed is that possibly, there are only two connections left, which is why #3 hangs. Maybe not. |

@Gregg Good catch. I missed that.
AFAIK there is a limit of 20 connections for SMB on all versions of Win7. Not sure if that counts for apache connection, too.
I never that that issue since I use w2k3 in business and at home. |
