Multiple Downloads..

[imported_goku]

Why is it that you can't download from multiple sites at a time in browsers such as mozilla?

For example I'm downloading at 35KB/s yet I've got plenty of bandwidth left, so I make multiple downloads so that I'm utilizing the bandwidth better. But why is it that mozilla and IE can only do up to two downloads at a time, opera 4? Why can't I go to the limit of my internet connection? Is there a setting that will allow me to do more at a time? When I try to download more, it has to wait until one of the downloads completes before another can initiate.
