Can only d/load 2 files max at any one time

[Paul]

I am using WinXP Home and used to be able to
simultaneously download up to 12 files from the internet
at any one time. Now I can only download 2 and cannot do
anything else on the particular web page until one of
these has completed. Any ideas ?

Start the Registry Editor (Start > Run > regedit.exe)

goto

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings

and add two new DWORDS Values called

MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
MaxConnectionsPerServer

then modify the value to whatever number of connection you wist to have. e.g
to download 12 files at one time set the value to 12 in decimal.

this is a per user setting, so what ever user you are logged into when doing
this will only work for that user
