Abstract
A method and system of managing downloads of a file from a server. A number of current connections between a client and the server is determined to be at least a preset threshold number of allowable concurrent connections between the server and the client and in response, a request by the client to download the file from the server using another connection between the client and the server is denied. After the request is denied, the number of current connections between the client and the server is determined to be less than the preset threshold number after which the other connection between the client and the server is established and the file is downloaded to the client via the other connection. The preset threshold number of allowable concurrent connections is automatically changed based on a total number of active current connections between server and both the client and other clients.
