1) I think IE has some restrictions on how many downloads you can have at a time. But I don't really remember if it was max two downloads..
 
2) It could also be a server issue.. Sometimes, servers (most likely ftp servers) limit a number of connections an user can make.

Nah its part of the HTTP1.1 protocol.
 
A way around it, includes the following
 
To configure IE to allow up to 10 simultaneous downloads (it only allows 2 at a time) do the following:
 
Open Registry Editor.
 
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:
 
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
 
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
 
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a
 
You can change 0000000a to any other value as long as it's hexadecimal.
 
Close the registry editor
