TIP: How to modify the default maximum number of simultaneous downloads in Internet Explorer 6 |
|
|
In order for IE6 to conform to the current HTTP standard, by default, there's a limit of two (2) simultaneous downloads enforced. Regular Internet users will probably find this limit frustrating to say the least. The good news is that this limit can be increased. Through editing the registry, you can change this limit to anything in between one (1) and ten (10).
You change this through adding or modifying the following registry values:
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server [REG_DWORD] 0000000a
MaxConnectionsPerServer[REG_DWORD] 0000000a
These values are found under the key:
\HKCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings
If you are unfamiliar or not confident modifying the registry, you may choose to copy the following text into notepad, and save it with the extension of .reg. You can then double-click this file to add the changes to the registry.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a
