IE 7 - Increase the number of concurrent downloads

So you are still using IE7 and have not moved to a better browser like Firefox [2]? Well, if you need to download more than 2 files at a time, you might want to change the following settings in your registry: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server & MaxConnectionsPerServer.  Simply change the value to something more appropriate to your needs or copy and paste the text below into a file called myIEdownloadprefs.reg and double click it:

=========== START COPYING AFTER THIS POINT =============

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000003
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000003

=========== STOP COPYING BEFORE THIS POINT =============
