Hi

From "Kellys-Korner" I downloaded the facility to increase Internet Explorer
downloads to 10 - thanks Kelly! Will the same download also work on a
Windows 2000 computer. Thanks.

Thank you for your response.

Firstly, I am not a Windows expert and do not purport to know about the
implications of downloading more than one file at once. My understanding,
which judging by your response is incorrect, was that home computers linked
through the same router / connection share the allocated bandwidth within
the home and thus download time per file would decrease as the number of
downloaded files increased. Consequently, others would not suffer.

Secondly, I searched Google for a solution to my query and ended up at
the "Kellys-Korner" website. When searching through this newsgroup I found
many references to the site which appeared very complimentary. The owner of
the site is a MVP. Why would a MVP offer a tool which, as you suggest, would
be to the detriment of others.

If it does transpire that what I am thinking of does indeed make me a
"selfish prick" then I would not use the tool. But as I have said, I am a
novice in his area and was looking for guidance rather than insults.

You may like to do an advanced Google search on my name and see just how
selfish my contributions are to the Microsoft Excel newsgroups.

What a selfish prick you are. You are using 4 other peoples' connection.
 
Sorry.....

The comment

".....thus download time per file would decrease as the number of downloaded
files increased..."

should have read

".....thus download time per file would increase as the number of downloaded
files increased..."

You are limited to TWO file downloads per site if HTTP 1.1 or 4 if HTTP 1.0. A web site only accepts so many connections. Say we have a site with 500 connections. At 2 up to 250 people can download from it. At 10 only 50 people can. Therefore if everyone does what you do all web sites will need to buy bigger servers or users will start seeing the message "Too many users are connected" (and it's been years since I've seen this message). The limit of 2 is to share access for everybody. It is an Internet standard.

Why can one change it. Well you may be on a private internet where you own it and can do whatever you want with it. But you are preventing me from using the public internet or are forcing web sites to spend money on bigger servers or more software licenses (most of the internet run free software).

Should I now set mine to 20 as I find the restriction difficult as I often download large PDF and can only do 2 at a time. But I think about the effect on others and leave it at two.
 
Thankyou David.

I'm obliged for your explanation.

William,

A Knowledge Base article published by Microsoft gives explicit details on how to do this.

It is a contravention of netiquette. It impacts on web infrastructure.

This is the MSKB Jan referenced, It uses a regedit and Kelly used a VB
script.

How to Configure Internet Explorer to Have More Than Two Download Sessions
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;282402&Product=ie600


I got some good info from David's post, and math I wouldn't have done by
myself., and a point I hadn't considered as strongly. A lot of the
so-called Download Accelerators are hyped.


That site you googled into, Kelly's, is a fantastic source and you will want
to closely check out the Tweaks section and the A to Z sections is a
collection of information you wouldn't duplicate in such a convenient form
if you had a library of most of the XP books around. It is well worth
visiting on a regular basis. Those tweaks/tips are updated frequently,
often to correct problems that show up in the XP groups, and you'll see
David's name if you scroll down to the bottom of the Tweaks page. You'll
find that the A to Z section will lead to sub sections full of some gems
you'd have a hard time digging up elsewhere.
