I seem to remember there's a way....but can't remember
what it is...

Anyone ??

Is this what you were looking for Rickkens:

Maximum of 4 download threads with IE

1: go to start, run and type regedit
2: go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\InternetSettings
3: right click anywhere on the right side and select DWORD from the dropdown list.
4: a new entry appears called New Value #1 at the bottom of the right side of the screen
5: rename this to MaxConnectionsPerServer
6: once renamed, right click and select MODIFY from the dropdown menu
7: in the VALUE DATA box type 80
8: repeat seps 3 thru 7 but this time rename the entry MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
9: happy downloading

I did and with ie I have been pulling down 7-9 downloads from FAW at 60-90KB each I was never able to do that before. I always
had to wait for the current D/Ls to finish. Anyway I thought some of you would find this interesting.

Great...thanks...
