Multiple download in vista

[ghalied]

The default multiple downloads one can have in vista is 2 as far as I can see, I know in XP there was a regedit option that would allow you to increase the amount of downloads to 3 and above if I recall correctly.

Does anyone know how to perform this task.

Thanks

It is actually a limitation of IE

use Firefox to fix it

Thanks Sapphiron, I am aware of that but I am also aware that there is a way to overcome this via the registry. Firefox, heard good things, just can't be bothered with the additional learning curve for the browser.

There is almost no learning curve, it works much the same as IE. If you can work IE, you can work Firefox.

You would rather fluck with the registry?

Found it:-

Internet Explorer 7 only allows you to download two files from the same server at a time. This is not a software limit but rather a limit imposed based on the web standard. Since this is simply a software setting, it can be modified and you can increase the limit to something much high such as 10. Follow the steps below to increase your max downloads from the same server:

1. Click on the Start Button and type in Regedit.
2. When Registry Editor loads navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion and Internet Settings.
3. Right click on MaxConnectionsPerServer and select Modify. Set the decimal value to something greater than 2.
4. Right click on MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and select Modify. Set the decimal value to something greater than 2.
5. Reboot.
