How to configure Internet Explorer to have more than two download sessions

Hi,

By default the Internet Explorer is limited to two downloads at a time this article explain how to change this : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282402

In short, copy the following text into a file named update.reg with notepad, save it in Unicode format, and run it with double click.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a
MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a

This will raise the connections limit to 10 (0xA) per server.

Note that this configuration is per user, and doesn't apply to the whole machine. Also note that it applies only to Internet Explorer and not to other applications.
