ENABLING MORE THAN 2 SIMULTANEOUS DOWNLOADS IN IE written by: paranoidxe date: July 2004 email: paranoidtsi@hotmail.com In Internet Explorer, by default it will only allow 2 concurrent downloads at a time..while this is good for dial-up its not so good for broadband users to change this follow the steps provided below: 1. open regedit (start, run, regedit, ok) 2. go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings 3. Add new DWORD values MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server MaxConnectionsPerServer 4. Give them the hexadecimal value of a, or decimal value of 10. You should now be able to download up to 10 different items at the same time which is the max for IE.
