How to Run Multiple Download sessions in Internet Explorer






By default, Windows Internet Explorer limits the number of files that you can download at one time. For example, Internet Explorer 8 limits the number to six at one time. In fact, you can increase the limited number to 10 by modifying a registry key.

Steps to Follow

1. Press "Win + R", type in "regedit". Click "OK" to start "Registry Editor".


2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER




3. Right-click on the blank area which is on the right of the window. Select "New" -> "DWORD(32-bit) Value". A "New Value #1" is created.



4.Double-click the "New Value #1", and add the following registry values:
Value name: iexplore.exe
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal




5.Click "OK" when it's done.

6.Next we need to locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPER1_0SERVER


7.Repeat step 3, 4 and 5.



8.Exit "Registry Editor" and the number of files that you can download at one time is now set to 10.
