limit to simultaneous downloads?

[Duane]

Sometimes I want to save several files from the net onto
my computer. However, if there are already two downloads
in progress, the third just sits there "getting file
information" until one of the prior ones completes, before
going to the "save as" dialog.
I'd like to get them all started at once, rather than
having to wait to do two at a time.
Any answers?

By default, Windows XP uses only 2 concurrent file transfers. You can
change this by adding 2 keys to the registry. The following will set the
number of concurrent IE downloads to 10:

Locate the following key in the registry:

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

On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry
values:

"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a

"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a
