Only 2 downloads at a time with ie5?

[shabby]

For some reason i can only do 2 downloads at a time with ie5 from any site.
First i thought the website was limiting me, but its like this on every site.
Anyway to change this? I have win2k.

Nevermind, found it http://www.jsiinc.com/subf/tip2600/rh2658.htm
Changed it to 20 and websites load almost instantly.

Holy crap! Thanks. I just tried this and everything is so much snappier!

BTW, does anybody know what trouble I'm causing by doing this? The site said that this is a violation of HTTP 1.0/1.1.

HTTP 1.1 says that you only connect one connection to each server, without out 1.1 checked in IE, and the speed tweak put down there you are sending up to 20 requests to one server, putting strain on the server - the reality is though it does nothing 'bad' just slows down other people.

sweet! i just changed my values to 10 and everything does load up faster. Nothing wrong with this right?

How do download accelerators work then, if HTTP only allows a max of 4 connections? Download Accelerator creates like 10 connections to a server to download simultaneously.
