Downloading multiple files

[Joss]

Hi,

How can I change the number of files I can download at a
time? Those are large PDF files, in the 1MB to 5MB
range, and I typically need to download 10 to 20 in
succession, but WinXP only allows me to download 2 at a
time. Also, I was recommending to use the download
manager, but I'm not sure what it is - a WinXP function,
or a 3rd party utility?

Thanks,

JD

I'd like to learn how to do that manually...

That's one of the things i like about VBS and REG files. If right click on
it and choose Edit you can see whats edited to make the change to your PC.
So in this case the script navigate to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings\MaxConnectionsPerServer.

To enter the registry editor goto Start>>Run>>Type "regedit" Navigate to
the key above.

(The DWORD Value may already exist, in that case just edit the value)
Create two new DWORD Values (Right click>>New>>DWORD Value). Name them
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server" and MaxConnectionsPerServer and set the value
of each to the number of download you would like.
