Internet Explorer 2 file download limit fix

[dieselstation]

You know how Internet Explorer only lets you download 2 files at a time? well.. here's the fix.

Go into your registry and find:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

find and change the keys:
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and change the value to dword:00000032 (<~~ set it to whatever you want. i set it at 32)
MaxConnectionsPerServer and change the value to dword:00000032 (<~~ set it to whatever you want. i set it at 32)

that's it.

or just copy and paste the following into a text file and rename it whatever.reg. and double click on it to set it.



REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:00000032
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:00000032

That's IT?! Good grief, I've been wondering about this forever. Thanks!

/edit Getright is nice, but for some reason it seems a little too bloated for me.

Bloated or not, I don't ever see the program's interface. It runs in the background and functions properly. That's all I care about: functionality. If I cared about asthetics or something else, I'd get a MAC

You awesome man.

As for Getright, yeah, I use it, but it has some problems. Some links these days appear to go to an EXE or ZIP file, but it's actually a webpage to allow you to choose a server. Getright tries to download the first "program" but it just downloads an HTML file instead of the application. Kind of a stupid way of making links if you ask me.

Actually, it is there so a user doesn't wind up swamping a server unintentionally. If the site, for example, has alot of graphic links IE will now make more connections to the server to retreive the files at the same time. This could wind up slowing down the perceived browsing speed, and could overload servers on slow connections.

So, your mileage may vary
