IE download speed

[axell]

If you have ever tried to download several things simultaneously through IE then you may have noticed that it doesn't work quite the way you may have hoped it to. This is because IE limits the amount of simultaneous downloads to two. This is done so that the perceived download progress appears to be tolerable. If you have a high speed connection then your browser should be able to handle a few more downloads. Here is 2 different steps I found to increase your number of connections. Have fun!

IE Download Limit This is to increase the the number of max downloads to 10 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the following key in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\m*cro$oft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Internet Settings

3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value (a dword) , and then add the following registry values: "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a
4. Quit Registry Editor.

Wow, I didn't know about this. Thanks.

I also want to add, I know most know this, but you got to be sure, to BACK UP YOUR REGISTRY!!! If you don't, you will almost always screw something up.
