By default Internet Explorer limits two downloads at the same time. However you can change this to any number by modifying the registry. Here is how:
1. From Start menu select <b>Run...</b>, type <b>regedit</b> and hit enter.
2. Navigate to <b>HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Internet Settings</b>
3. From the <b>Edit</b> menu select <b>New -> DWORD Value</b>
4. Set the name of the value to <b>MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server</b>
5. Right-click on the value and select <b>Modify</b>
6. Set the value to <b>10</b> and set <b>Base</b> to <b>Decimal</b>. click on OK.
7. Repeat steps 3-6 but instead of <b>MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server</b> use <b>MaxConnectionsPerServer</b>
