windows downloading

[Dagman]

Hi, is it possible to increase the amounts of downloads at the same time, I find windows defaulted to only 2 but I don't want to have to wait for each two to finish before starting the next ones. I've had download progs before but just wondered if the windows downloader is variable....thanks.

if you get a download scheduler such as 'download accelerator' you can queue your dl's but downloading at the same time achieves nothing as your speed just gets shared between them all.

Ok, now thats out the way.... create a new txt file and paste the below code into it... minus the ---- 's

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

;Max your Internet Explorer's simultaneous downloads to 10 (default was 2)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Save the file as any name but change the options from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files" and make sure to add ".reg" to the end of the name...

Then just run the file on any account with Admin priviledges.. increases max to 10 not 2....

Good luck!!
