Maximum downloads

[Rick]

If I don't use any download manager then maximum how
many downloads can I do at a time from a dial up
connection?
Does the number change if I use a download manager?
Thanks

To comply with current Internet standards (Request for Comments 2068), Internet Explorer limits the number of
simultaneous downloads to two downloads, plus one queued download. This configuration is a function of the browser.
However, as connection speeds increase, and the number of total connections that are allowed to Internet servers
increase, the two-connection limit may be restrictive. To increase the number of simultaneous connections that are
allowed to 10, follow these steps:

Do note however that your available download speed will be split among those items. The KB/S will not increase, it will decrease.

The default in IE6 is two. You can increase that to as
many as 12 or more. A multiple of 4 is recommended. 4\8\12
and so on. This is a matter of doing a little reg
tweaking. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?

This gives you the details how.
