Increase Number of Simultaneous Downloads

[Erskine]

This trick can download more files simultaneously increasing the number of HTTP sessions allowed on the same server. Indeed, to meet the specifications of HTTP 1.1 (limited to 2 connections) and HTTP 1.0 (limited to 4 connections), Windows default limit the number of simultaneous connections on a single server. If this gene does not necessarily when navigating a website, it is otherwise in the file downloads (from 2 or 4 files during download, Windows put on hold following).

For Win95/Win98/Win98SE/WinME/NT4/Win2000/WinXP

We will increase the limit on the number of simultaneous downloads to 10 for HTTP 1.0 and 1.1.

• Open regedit (Start, Run ... and then type regedit)
  
  
• Go to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
  
  
• Create or edit the DWORD values and MaxConnectionsPerServer MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server by 0000000a (10 in hexadecimal).
  
  
• Then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and repeat the operation:
  
  
• Create or edit the DWORD values and MaxConnectionsPerServer MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server by 0000000a (10 in hexadecimal).
  
  
• Close regedit and restart Windows.

Of course you can choose for yourself the value corresponding to the number of simultaneous downloads to two protocols, one must in this case indicate a hexadecimal value.

Note that some servers themselves limited by the number of simultaneous connections to the same IP, this trick is useless in this case.

This is a nice trick & I will give it a try.
It will be really nice to increase the no. of simultaneous downloads.
Thanks for the tip & lets see if it works for me or not?
