Although increasing the default numbers of simultaneous downloads in HIDOWNLOAD application is easy, making such modification might also require additional processing and memory. In case you are running your version of Windows on a legacy computer, putting more load on the processor and the memory, along with the network adapter just to download multiple files simultaneously from the Internet might give you completely unsatisfactory user experience with your computer.
On the other hand, if you have good Internet connection speed, and want to download multiple files in a single go, you can configure your instance of HIDOWNLOAD application accordingly. The process of configuring the program to download multiple files (more than two, and up to 5 as per this tutorial) simultaneously, you must follow the steps given below:
- Using the administrator account, log on to the computer on which you want to modify the default HIDOWNLOAD settings.
- After logging on, right-click HIDOWNLOAD icon from the notification area present at the bottom right corner of the screen.
- From the displayed context menu, choose Options.

- Once done, click OK to save the changes that you have made.
- Restart the HIDOWNLOAD application to allow the changes to take effect.
- If the modified settings are still not reflected, restart the computer and then try again.
