Maximum Number Simultaneous Resource Downloads?

 

Hi,

 

I have an HTML5 video game here:  www.LettersFall.com

 

Game works 100% on current Google Chrome,

but sometimes it refuses to load on both Mozilla Firefox and Microsoft Internet Explorer?

 

My current resource loading source loads all audio/visual resources simultaneously (~30MB),

My question is could the above loading scheme be the problem I experience with game not loading on Firefox & IE?

Is there some limit to how many simultaneous resources can be loaded at same time?

 

Did some Google'ing but did not see anything.

Would like to make game always load on Firefox and IE...

Thanks!

Every browser allows a different number of simultaneous connections to the remote host.

 

This limit applies to loading scripts, images, and getting resources using XMLHttpRequest which is how most JS engines get their resources. There's not much you can do about the limit itself.

 

However! If you host your resources at different subdomains (or different domains entirely if the browser allows for cross-origin resource sharing or CORS) then you can get past this limit.
