How to enable more than 2 simultaneous downloads from Internet Explorer...

One of the things that is frustrating with Internet Explorer is that the
number of simultaneous downloads you can perform from at the same time is
limited to what appears to be 2. This apparently is to comply with internet
standards (RFC 2068 - http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2068.txt)...

With the increase in available bandwidth, connections are more than capable
of supporting more than 2 simultaneous downloads and it is possible to
increase this limit (to a maximum of 10) through the registry. To increase
this, do the following:

Create (or modify) the following registry values:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Internet Settings \ MaxConnectionsPerServer = 000000A (DWORD) (10 decimal)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \
Internet Settings \ MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server = 000000A (DWORD) (10
decimal)
