Okay, this bugs the hell out of me. When you run Internet Explorer, and
try to download more than two files at a time, you have to sit and wait
while you download only two at a time. Here's the problem as Microsoft
see it (from KB:
Q181145)
SYMPTOMS
When you try to download more than two files at the same time, the "Save
This Program To Disk" option may not appear until one or more of the
previous downloads is finished.
CAUSE
This behavior can occur because Internet Explorer versions 4 and 5 strictly
adhere to the Request for Comment (RFC) specifications for HTTP 1.0
and HTTP 1.1, which state that clients must not create more than two
(HTTP 1.1) or four (HTTP 1.0) simultaneous keep-alive connections per
server.
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, do not try to download more than four files
at the same time.
Well NO SH*T!
For additional information about this issue, please see the following
article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base: Q183110 INFO: WinInet Limits Connections Per Server.
Luckily, the other KB article it links to is a little more helpful:
(from KB:
Q183110):
You should only do this if absolutely necessary and then you should
avoid doing standard Web browsing while these settings are in effect:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet
Settings
MaxConnectionsPerServer REG_DWORD (Default 2)
Sets the number of simultaneous requests to a single HTTP 1.1 Server
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server REG_DWORD (Default
4)
Sets the number of simultaneous requests to a single HTTP 1.0 Server
These settings are made for a particular user and will have no affect
on other users who log onto the machine.
Now we're talkin!
Add those registry values if they're not already present and enter
whatever values you like, I entered 65536 (I'm kiddin', I did 8). You
will now be able to download as many files simultaneously as your little
heart desires. So what if it crashes someone's web-server, that's not
your problem  .
*NOTE: As usual, back up your registry before you
mess with it. This "tweak" can also make your browser unstable
and/or crash. And God only knows what it will do to web-servers.
