Download faster with Google Chrome? This is how!

Stefan

Are you bothered by the slow download speed via the Google Chrome browser? You are not alone. The good news is that if you use Google Chrome or Chromium-based Microsoft Edge, you should be able to increase download speed easily using the experimental feature called parallel downloading.

What is parallel downloading

Parallel downloading is an experimental feature in Chrome and Edge that helps speed up download speeds. When you download a large file, the browser with the parallel download feature enabled divides the large file into small packets and downloads these small packets at the same time. This will increase the download speed.

Currently, the parallel download feature is still in beta (test) status, and you must enable it manually. You can do this via the hidden settings in Google Chrome. This is how it works!

Download faster with Google Chrome

Open the Google Chrome browser. In the address bar type: chrome :/ / flags

The hidden settings in Chrome will open. These are the flags settings, which means that they are experimental settings and features that may later be included in the official and public version of Google Chrome.

In the search bar type: parallel downloading

Then enable parallel downloading by changing the “Default” setting to “Enabled”.

Parallel downloading works in Google Chrome for Mac, Windows, Linux, Chrome OS and Android. On all these operating systems you can enable this feature via the experimental options.
