Hey everyone...
Can anyone tell me how I can download more than two things at the same time when I'm in Internet Explorer? When I go to download things it only lets me download two downloads at a time.

In Internet Explorer 5 or higher, there is a limit to how many simultaneous downloads you can have per server.
To remove this limit, one has to edit the registry. Open up the registry editor by going to Start>Run, and typing regedit. Browse to this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings. Then, on the right pane of the Window in an open area, right click and select New>DWORD Value. Enter the name of "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server". Then, create another DWORD value and enter the name "MaxConnectionsPerServer". Now, right click on MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and select modify. Click the decimal radio button to change the values you see to decimal instead of hexidecimal. Then, enter the value 16. Now, do the same for MaxConnectionsPerServer, except enter the value of 8 for this item. You can raise these or lower them depending on your connection speed. Setting higher values would be ideal for extremely fast connections. On a cable modem with usual speeds of 1.5Mbps, a value of 32 and 16 seems to be the optimal settings.

Great thanx alot...I followed your instructions to the letter and it workx perfectly...your the best!!!
