Abstract
A download module accesses a download queue including at least two file download requests from an application running on a client device of a server. The application and each of the file download requests is associated with a context that comprises a set of context components that each indicates a part of the application. The file download request context components indicate parts of the application that use the requested file and the application context components indicate parts of the application that are active. The download module ranks each of the file download requests based on a comparison of the respective file download request context components of each file download request to the application context components of the application. The download module then selects two or more file download requests in the download queue for concurrent execution based on the respective rankings of the file download requests in the download queue.
