Concurrent Downloads

Customizations

To increase the concurrent downloads we used the keys for the BES Gather Service:

MaxConnectionsPerServer

MaxConnectoinsPer1_0Server

HKEY_USERS< … account…>\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

That has worked great, but the more I’ve thought about it I wonder if I really should be doing the same for my relays.

Also for the those servers that the BESClient plays a larger role (BES Server and BES Relays) is there something to be gained if the change is also made in the LocalSystem registry.

thanks,

Hey Gary,

The relays will currently only attempt two downloads from their parent at any given time so this Microsoft change won’t affect much…

Thanks Ben.

I suppose since you used the word “currently” that there is hope that this will change at some point in the future.

That’s not quite right, but the actual behavior is a little complicated. In 7.x, the relay and root server will download all actions in parallel. However, it will only download one file per action. In the upcoming 8.0 release, the relay and server will fetch all downloads from all actions in parallel.
