what is the common parallel download behaviour?

If I start a number of downloads and they do allow that, do they
usually ''spread'' the speed among other downloads (and so getting slower for more individual downloads) or do they offer a fixed number of simultaneous downloads to one IP so that speed and stability of individual downloads should not be affected (i.e. max speed of individual downloads is fixed)

is it possible for a server to allow many many downloads for one IP without affecting the downloading speed and stability?? Assume the client side has high-speed broadband connection

What is the common parallel/ simultaneous download behaviour??





Thank you.

Depends entirely on the remote server configuration and its resources.

You'd probably run out of bandwidth before the server did, so you'd see slower download speeds per file (but a similar maximum aggregate) either way.
 
Think of the connection like the water in your house. You start a shower and have plenty of presser, then the washer starts and the pressure changes to balance the two.

The same thing happens when you hit a max connection to a server. The more connections, the slower you download.

The slow point could be anywhere. For example I do a speed test to a server in my city and get almost my full speed. But when I do one in New York, I get a very reduced connection. Yet I know the testing server has at least the same connection I do.
