Windows Downloads - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Crack · 03-28-2004, 01:01 AM

Why is it that I can only download 2 things simultaneously? I Right-click something, Save Target as... then I can only do this with two links... is there somethng in the registery that I can tweak to change this or am I just a moron for not knowing...

WinXP Pro SP1
IE 6... Yada-yada-yada SP2

Thanks!

What happens when you try to download more things simultaneously?
( I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't just work...)

Should be here:
HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\MaxConnectionsPerServer
If not create a new dword value and set it to "00000020"

You can grab cablenut or something similar and adjust it that way if you want.

Find the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings. Create a new REG_DWORD value of MaxConnectionsPerServer then create yet another REG_DWORD value of MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server. Set both values to the number of concurrent downloads you want to be able to do. A number higher than 8 is not recommended.

Try that..basically elaborating on what _the_wombat said..
