How come i can only download 2 things at once?

[TranceAllstar]

Im on cable, and use Internet Explorer, for some reason i can only download 2 files at a time with the default download agent and DAP, once one finishes the next one will start....i looked all through options didnt find anything

[Steven.Bentley]

I would have thought that the software would have a "maximum simultaneous downloads" option or something similar...

What kind of connection are you on?

[TranceAllstar]

cable, cox, was @home...

Is it standard IE?
IE doesn't have a download agent.

[TranceAllstar]

yea, well i mean the default download thing save target as, open etc

The two file limitation is a Windows setting for I.E.
You can change it by modifying the registry.

hrm i dont have add value on my thing?

[degsy]

Open a text file.

Add this code

REGEDIT4


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a

(The HKEY line should be all on one line).


Save the file as DownloadSessions.reg

Double Click the file to have the entries added to the Registry.

ok well im probably a newb to this, i have the text file with all that now how do i put it in their?

oh and just to be sure i want the REGEDIT4 at the top right?

[degsy]

Open the File in Notepad.
Goto File>Save As
save it as DownloadSessions.reg

Then Double Click the .reg file to execute it.

um i have that file saved on my desktop as that name its just a notepad file....do i just click import registry file? that doesent come up unless i select all files it doesent show as a .reg

[degsy]

make sure that you have the file saved as
DownloadSessions.reg
and not DownloadSessions.reg.txt

Open the File in Notepad,
goto Save As,
Click the File Types dropdown and select all files.
Save the file as DownloadSessions.reg

Then double click the file.

C:\windows\desktop\downlo~1.reg?
