In my internet explorer on my xp pro, when I download
something from the internet to my computer it only lets
me have a maximum of two downloads. I can open up other
downloads, but they do not initiate untill a previous
download is finished and i click close or open. is there
anyway to change this?

thanks!

Start the Registry Editor
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
\ Internet Settings
Select New > DWORD Value from the Edit menu
Name the new value MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Right-click the MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server value and choose Modify
Under Base, click the radio button next to Decimal
In the Value Data: box enter the number of simultaneous connections you
want to set (for example 10 is a good value), and click OK
Repeat steps 3 - 7 using the new value: MaxConnectionsPerServer
Exit the registry editor

Hey,
There is a way to download more than one file at a time, but it breaks
the http 1.1 code. here is a link to the web page that tells you how
to do it http://www.winguides.com/registry/display.php/536. I hope
this helps.
