i believe that windows 7 allows (2) downloads at a time, i think windows 8 is (6). anyone have experience with multiple downloads? are they safe, or something to avoid at all costs? i'm in the process of downloading games to my new storage drive and because they're so big (and my internet connection not great, 1mb/s at best) it will take forever. so anyone know if there is a greater (?) possibility of file corruption when downloading two (or more) files simultaneously? i understand that the possibility of file corruption is always present, and it stands to reason that downloading more than one at a time increases the risk, but i'm talking beyond what one would normally expect. any thoughts?

thanks for your help!

You can download what your bandwidth can handle. I don't think file corruption is an issue.
Now .. ie is just ... a problem in general.
Personally I use Chrome without issue. .c.
