| 349274 | 2005-04-27 01:51:00 | Does anyone know how to change the settings in Internet Explorer so I can have more then 2 downloads at a time? | McFly (7659) | ||
| 349275 | 2005-04-27 02:00:00 | easy.....don't use IE. sorry but IE is poor at downloading. use a download manger (or another browser) that supports resumeing and multi source downloading (ie downloads bits of the file from different sites so you don't get caught out with a slow site). getright is a good free (except it bugs you to buy it) non-adware one. |

| 349276 | 2005-04-27 02:22:00 | Not really the answer I wanted, I want to know what settings to change in IE. I already have other sownload programs, but want to know how to adjust IE's pitiful limit of 2. | McFly (7659) | ||
| 349277 | 2005-04-27 02:28:00 | a quick google found this (support.microsoft.com). | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 349278 | 2005-04-27 02:30:00 | IE6 increase downlaods (www.petri.co.il tm) registry hack or script. I have no idea if this change plays nice with IE or Windows. Use at your own risk or, better still use a different browser and leave IE in original condition. | Murray P (44) | ||
| 349279 | 2005-04-27 02:31:00 | Thanks for the assist. I thought I saw it in a past PC World, but cant find it. | McFly (7659) | ||
| 349280 | 2005-04-27 04:12:00 | if your not good at computers try www.totalidea.com (Download Tweak XP Pro 4) its not free but you can get a long fully featured trial version :) once its installed, go to Internet tweaks>connection tweaks and the bottom of the page will say increase maxium HTTP sessions (which is downloads in IE). You can only increase this to 5, any more may fail. Id still reccomend using firefox :) |

| 349281 | 2005-04-27 07:04:00 | I also recommend using Firefox or a Download Manager program. I've had immense success with multiple large-format downloads with the various download managers I've used. Namely: Download Accelerator and FlashGet |
