So the more tabs you have open, the slower the internet becomes, causing files to take longer to download.<\/p>\n<p>Try closing the unused tabs one by one to see if there is a difference in download speed.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Turn_off_all_VPNs_in_Use\"><\/span><strong>2.

This app works in the same way as parallel downloading on Chrome.<\/p>\n<p>Each part of the file is downloaded separately, which reduces the stress on the server. All files that you download are done using maximum bandwidth and connection.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, in Chrome you may need to download files from scratch when the connection is lost.<\/p>\n<p>With the download manager, you can retain the downloaded parts and continue downloading from where the connection was lost.<\/p>\n<p>The most popular download manager to speed up your download speed is IDM (<a href=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/how-to-use-idm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Internet Download Manager<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background has-very-light-gray-background-color\">If you are looking for free premium Internet Download Manager key then you can check out our previous article on <a href=\"https:\/\/techmaina.com\/idm-serial-key\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">free IDM serial keys<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Download:<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0Internet Download Manager (\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.internetdownloadmanager.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Windows<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/filehippo.com\/mac\/download_free-download-manager-for-mac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Mac<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0)<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>So those are some ways to speed up downloads in Chrome.
