Downloading files are a regular affair in our computing life. We download large files, images, videos, and applications, and no one wants to download them slowly. While Google Chrome works well for downloading, there are still possibilities to speed up downloading. If you want to boost downloading speed or add a download manager to Chrome, here are five quick ways to speed up downloading in Google Chrome.
How To Boost Internet / Download Speed On Google Chrome
1. Parallel Downloading Flag
If you want to increase Chrome download speed, you must try the Parallel Downloading flag. For starters, Chrome offers hundreds of experimental settings called flags. One such flag called “Parallel Downloading” helps you speed up downloading in Chrome. I have personally experienced increased download speeds after enabling this flag.
Follow the below steps to enable Parallel downloading in Chrome:
Step 1: Type chrome://flags in your Chrome search and search for ‘Parallel Downloading’ or directly visit chrome://flags/#enable-parallel-downloading.
2. Add Turbo Download Manager Chrome Extension
There are different download managers claiming to speed up your download speed. While you can use anyone, I’ll recommend the Turbo Download Manager. It’s an extension available freely on the Chrome Web Store. You can use it to boost your downloading speed or improve the stability of download when you are on a low-quality network.
The extension divides your big download files into smaller parts called dynamic segmentation. It allows using any type of connection at a faster speed. The best part of this extension is, It integrates with the built-in download manager to provide a great level of ease and convenience.
