Internet Explorer (IE) are limited to two connections per server. This is why you can only download a maximum of two files from one website.
Here is how to increase the number of HTTP simultaneous connections to 10. By having 10 connections, IE will be able to download 10 different files at one time. This will make web pages load faster.
If you use IE 7 and below:
- Go to Start -> Run, enter regedit and hit ENTER.
