I don't think there's a way to do it. Give GetRight a shot, although I've never used it.

Justin i am pretty sure it a settings somewhere, as i have downloaded more then two files on IE. I have GoZilla but sometime it gests a bit annoying, if u just wanna download small files.

Thanks for your reply though.

Well GoZilla is a pest by nature ;)

The older versions aren't as bad though... www.oldversion.com would be where they would be if your interested.

If anyone finds this answer I'd be quite interested to know myself though. I'll go snoop in the registry...

As i suspected its in the registry. Have a look at this page http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/536. This explain you how to do it.

I tried it but its still not workig, i guess i might need a restart before the settigns are applied. I will test it out later, if anyone can get it to work then plz let me know.

95% of twiddly bits in win2k are accessed from the registry. I had to do a Google search just to find out how to switch off autoplay on my CD-ROMs

I opened this path HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

and then right clicked on the right hand window and choose New->DWORD Value and then created the two keys

I typed 10 for "MaxConnectionPer1_0Server" and same for "MaxConnectionPerServer" both are hexadecimal base.

You need a restart before it takes effect.

To abide by the HTTP specifications Windows limits the number of simultaneous connections that it will make to a single HTTP (web) server. This affects all Windows Internet applications that use the standard API, including Internet Explorer. The behavior can be seen when downloading multiple files from a web site only a certain number (2 or 4) will be active at any one time.

Windows will limit connections to a single HTTP 1.0 server to four simultaneous connections. Connections to a single HTTP 1.1 server will be limited to two simultaneous connections. The HTTP 1.1 specification (RFC2068) mandates the two connection limit while the four connection limit for HTTP 1.0 is a self-imposed restriction which coincides with the standard used by a number of popular Web browsers.

Connections to a single

how many times do you download more than one file per site? maybe that's why I can do more than one.

Change the values to equal the number of simultaneous requests allowed to a single HTTP server, the default values are 2 and 4 respectively.

Mine was set at 64 by default hmmmm so I guess I don't have to worry about it. :)
