How To Increase IE Download speed

How To Increase IE Download speed, IE download
If you have ever tried to download several things simultaneously through IE then you may have noticed that it doesn't quite work the way you may have hoped it to.
This is because IE limits the amount of simultaneous downloads to two downloads. Why is this done by Microsoft ? This is done so that the perceived download progress appears to be moving quickly. If you have a high speed connection such as Cable modem or DSL then your browser should be able to handle a few more downloads.
Here are 2 different steps I have found to increase your number of connections.

IE Download Limit The following is to increase the the number of max downloads to 10.

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
2. Locate the following key in the egistry:HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\m*cro$oft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.
3. On the Edit menu, click Add Value (a dword) , and then add the following registry values:"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a

"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a4. Quit Registry Editor

That should do it, close IE and restart.
