My IE6 will only let me download 2 files at a time. I have a cable
connection and would like to be able to download more. Is there a setting I
can change?

Interesting, So what should the 'standard' settings be in the Registry key
for Maximum Connections?

I'm on dial-up and does 2 connections run better than 10 or 20?
