Abstract

A method for increasing the rate of transfer of web page data files having embedded data files between users of an Internet service and an Internet server. The method is implemented from a set of instructions read by a computer from a diskette. The executed method assigns a first communication channel of the computer to transfer a first data file between the server and the user. The data file is checked for the identity of embedded files, and the identity and address of the embedded files are stored in a table. The embedded files are thereafter transferred through the first communication channel and a second communication channel following transfer of the first data file. In the event that a data transfer of a file becomes stalled, an additional channel is assigned to simultaneously transfer the stalled file with the channel carrying the stalled file.
