This paper investigates how splitting a video or file download into multiple parallel HTTP requests (byte-range requests or multiple segment downloads) can increase throughput and reduce latency, especially in high-bandwidth, high-latency networks (e.g., 5G, satellite, long-distance fiber). It introduces a dynamic parallel download scheduler that adjusts the number of parallel connections based on real-time network conditions to avoid congestion and buffer bloat.
