Overcome Download limit of 2 files in Internet Explorer
by Webmaster on Aug.15, 2009, under Internet Explorer
One of my biggest qualms with Internet Explorer 7 is that allows you to only download two files from the same server at any given time. We can tweak this within the Windows registry. Here’s how you do that for IE7. Click the Windows Start button, type “regedit” and follow this path “HKEY_CURRENT_USER” -> “Software” -> “Microsoft” -> “Windows” -> “CurrentVersion” -> “Internet Settings“.
Double click on the “MaxConnectionsPerServer” option and change the decimal value to something larger than “2“. Then double click on the “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server” and again change its value to something larger than “2“. Once that’s done, reboot your computer and you’re all set. IE7 will allow you to download more than 2 files from the same server.
The method for IE7 when used in Windows XP is the same as in Windows Vista, if you’re using an older version of IE here’s what you have to do.
Load up the registry editor (Start -> Run then type regedit and press the OK button) and follow this path HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> Software -> Microsoft -> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings. From there edit the “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server” and “MaxConnectionsPerServer” DWORD values to anything greater than 2. Exit then reboot your computer and you’re set. Internet Explorer can now download more than 2 files from the same server from now on.
