Cannot download more than 6 files in IE 8

[michaels]

I am using Internet Explorer 8 since it get launched. But i found that, i can not download more than 5 to 6 files at a time. Why is that so? How can i download more files, that i need to do ?

Thats is because Internet Explorer 8 limits the no. to 6 of files that can be downloaded at one time. If you want to break this limit, than try this:-

Copy and paste the below code into Notepad and save it with the extension .REG:-

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPER1_0SERVER]
“iexplore.exe”=dword:00000010

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MAIN\FeatureControl\FEATURE_MAXCONNECTIONSPERSERVER]
“iexplore.exe”=dword:0000000a

Now merge the registry file and the download limit will be disabled.

You can try as well:-

1. Go to run, type regedit and press Enter.
2. Click Continue for UAC prompt.
3. In regedit, go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
4. In right pane, right click on a empty area and click on New and DWORD (32-bit) Value.
5. Type MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and press Enter.
6. In right pane, right click MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and click Modify.
7. Dot Decimal, then type 10 and click OK.
8. Repeat steps 5 to 8 above, but use MaxConnectionsPerServer instead now.
9. When done you should see this below boxed in red.
10. Close regedit.
11. Logoff and logon, or restart the computer to apply the changes.
