How to disable IE file download limit in WinME ?

[robg1701]

How do you disable/change the limit on the no of files you can download at a time with IE5.5 in WinME ? I believe you can do this through a reg hack but i dont know where to start

I know its been raised before, as i read about it a few weeks ago. Unfortunately i could not find that thread even after 30 mins searching the forum for it, so ive had to ask.

Thx in advance for any help.

past the lines below in notepad and save as whatever.reg


REGEDIT4

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000006

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000008


woops forgot to say what to do with it after you've saved.
the file should now look like a registry file
double-click it and it will ask if you want to merge it with your registry, just say yes.

(of course always make a backup in case you mess up)

Thank's Fokks. Ill give that a try later on - i know what to do with it, but frankly if i toast the registry i may just clean install 98SE again as ME aint 100% 'there' at the moment

SUO, i realise it had been posted before, but i had to ask as id spent over 30mins looking for and at about 3:30am i kinda gave up and figured it would be easier to ask...sorry
