I do not like being restricted by IE's limitation on only allowing 2 simultaneous downloads.
Click on the Start button and select Run.
- On the Run line type Regedt32.exe and hit Enter. This will launch the Registry Editor
- Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Microsoft>Windows>
CurrentVersion>Internet Settings.
- Click on the Internet Settings Key. Now go to the Edit menu, point to NEW click DWORD Value
- Type MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server for the name of this DWORD Value.
- Double-click on the MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server key you just created and enter the following information:
- Value data: 10.
- Base: Decimal.
- When finished press OK.
- Repeat steps 4 and 5. This time name the key MaxConnectionsPerServer and assign it the same values as indicated in Steps 6.
- Close the Registry Editor.
That's all there is to it! If you modified your registry settings correctly, you should now have the capability to download up to 10 files simultaneously.
