I've been experiencing a strange issue with my internet connection where I can download a single large file (like a 1 GB one) just fine, but whenever I try to download multiple large files at the same time—say, 3 or 4—I encounter a "Network Error" and the downloads fail. I'm using Windows 11 and I've tried this in Edge, Chrome, and Firefox, but the problem persists across all browsers. It's not a huge issue, but I'm curious about why one download works seamlessly while multiple downloads cause problems. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

You might want to try a download manager to see if it helps with the problem. They can optimize how files are downloaded and sometimes can bypass issues like these. Just be aware that if you go for a really high number of simultaneous downloads, you might still run into problems. Let me know how it goes!
It sounds like your network might be running into limitations when handling multiple connections. Sometimes, certain routers can't manage several simultaneous downloads efficiently due to bandwidth allocation. It's worth checking if there's any Quality of Service (QoS) setting in your router that limits how much bandwidth different devices or applications can use. Also, keep in mind that sometimes the application you're using for downloads can impact your connection too. Do you have any network monitoring tools to check that?
That's a good point! I faced a similar issue and adjusting QoS settings made a big difference for me. It's always worth a try.
I tried a download manager, and it helped a bit, but it still struggles when I download 5 or 6 files at once, which I find puzzling.
