Downloads how many at the same time

If you are fortunate enough to have access to ultra high speed Internet connections via cable and fibre optic, up to 10, 20 or 30 Mbps you may wish to take an advantage which is not available to those less fortunate.

I am referring to RFC 2068 an Internet standard which limits you to two downloads a session albeit you can have another queued.

This standard originally made sense because spreading the bandwidth between multiple downloads would cause them all to be very slow.

Nowadays it is feasible to have many downloads going at the same time.

You can edit the registry to change the limit.

This is how to set IE to allow ten download sessions: -

Go to :- Start > Run In the box type without the quotes “ Regedit “

Scroll to :- HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion \Internet Settings

Click Edit and select New,

Select DWORD Value. Name the new value MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server.

Double click it and give it a value of 10 (Decimal).

Again Click Edit > New, again and click DWORD Value. Name the second new value MaxConnectionsPerServer.

Double click it and give it, too, a value of 10 (Decimal).

Close the Registry editor.
