Abstract: A client device downloads a file of a computer-implemented game using multiple network connections. The client device may first receive configuration information for downloading the file, such that the configuration information indicates a partition quantity for a plurality of file portions into which the file is partitioned at one or more server computers, and indicates at least one hostname from which to request the file portions. The client device may download the plurality of file portions by using the configuration information to determine uniform resource locators (URLs) for the individual file portions, and using multiple network connections to download the file portions from the determined URLs. The client device may then combine the plurality of file portions to form the file.

Abstract: Example systems and methods for downloading an application file are presented herein. In an example, configuration information for downloading the application file is received. The configuration information indicates a partition quantity indicating a number of file portions into which the application file is partitioned at one or more server computers. Network addresses for the file portions are determined based on the configuration information. A request is issued for each of the multiple file portions based on the network addresses, with the requests being issued over multiple network connections. The multiple file portions are received over the multiple network connections, with at least two of the multiple file portions being received simultaneously over separate ones of the multiple network connections. The received multiple file portions are combined to form the application file.
