Question with number of download tasks

Hopefully some knowledgeable person can help me with this one!

I don't know if it is a IE problem (restriction) or somewhere else in
windows.

I have 2 systems - both running XP. On 1 system I can initiate as
many file downloads as I want. But on the other system, it will only
allow 2 file downloads at a time - 1 has to finish before I can start
another. I have tried to find where there is a difference, but I'm
clueless.

Hopefully someone has the answer.

TIA,
Charlie
