While it doesn’t magically exceed the server’s total bandwidth, it better utilizes the user’s available connection by keeping all lanes of the network highway busy. In practice, downloading large files — such as Linux ISOs, game installers, or software updates — can see speed improvements of 2x to 5x, depending on server support and network conditions.
works by splitting a single file into several smaller "chunks." The browser then establishes multiple simultaneous connections to the server to download these chunks at the same time.
