Q: 

Android DownloadManager - few questions

I have a few questions about the Android browser download manager .

  1. Does it support multiple downloads at the same time? From the code it looks like it does.

  2. What's advantage of using HTTPRequest over URL/URLConnection to download files?

3.The download manager opens and closes connection for each download. Is it the right thing to do? Or is it better to use the same connection for for all the download requests(by changing the required parameters) and then clse the connection?
