If you're talking about downloading more than 2 files from the same
server, the key is under:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

Create or change the DWORD key: MaxConnectionsPerServer from
its default of 2 to whatever you want. Note, however, that this default
is part of the HTTP 1.1 spec. Increasing it may cause problems with
some websites.

I changed the settings i.e made a new string with the name
MaxConnectionsPerServer and gave it a value of 16. But it doesn't work. What
could be the problem?

1. Did you create a DWORD or string value? A string value
won't work.

2. Make sure you reboot after making the change.

3. 16 is *way* too many connections, most servers won't allow
that many. Start with 4 and work your way up from there.

The article above states that also the value MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server needs to be
created/edited...
