Thanks for your response.
 
Internet Explorer limits any software downloads to two(2), no more. I believe I saw some tweak that you can take this limit out.
 
Anybody know what that is?

I've found the information that I need.
But I dont know how to input the strings into my windows XP regedit.exe program. It seems to be a little different than the one that is listed.
 
 
Here is the directions I found in the microsoft site:
 
 
To increase the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed to 10, follow these steps:
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
 
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry values:
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a
 
 
 
Thanks

ok, ok, ok, i'm surprised cause..ok, let me ask first, the "2" connections per server is the default setting??, cause i have't done any tweak to my internet explorer settings (i guess that, anyway none of the tweaks i've done is related with this topic) and its set up to "0x0000014" or "20" in decimal.

The default changes depending on which IE model you install (4-6) I think, but 20 seems to be in place once you install IE6 iirc.

(That seems to be the number most folks choose & do well with!)

Another one, in a field FULL of them! I have to ask myself quite often on the meaning of some of them!

(Using them saves time typing for me at least)

HTTP 1.0 limits to 4 by default, http 1.1 limits to 2 by default.
 
2 is weak.
