I found a registry hack a while back that allowed you to download more than two files at the same time with explorer. Not a program to break up your downloads one that allows more than one download at a time. Anyone know where I can find this again? 
Thanks

Found it. Now I'm not stuck with downloading only 2 at a time can do up to 10.

Sounds good, care to share it with the rest of us!!

Make sure you back up your registry first.
Take a minute to follow these directions before proceeding any further. Once your registry has been backed up we can begin.

As with most modifications, you should make sure that no other applications are running, especially Internet Explorer. Now, by following the simple procedure outlined below, you'll be able to increase your number of simultaneous downloads from 2 to 10.

Click on the Start button and select Run

On the Run line type Regedt32.exe and hit Enter. This will launch the Registry Editor

Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings
Click on the Internet Settings Key. Now go to the Edit menu, point to NEW, and click DWORD Value

Type MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server for the name of this DWORD Value

Double-click on the MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server key you just created and enter the following information:

Value data: 10.
Base: Decimal.

When finished press OK

Repeat steps 4 and 5. This time name the key MaxConnectionsPerServer and assign it the same values as indicated in Steps 6

Close the Registry Editor
That's all there is to it! If you modified your registry settings correctly, you should now have the capability to download up to 10 files simultaneously.

I restarted my computer and it works great! Hope someone else can use it. I use other browsers too, but mainly IE so it was a real pain to be limited to 2 files after being able to download up to 10 at a time...lol

Yes it is a right PITA! [LOL]
Thanx for that, I'll give it a go when I get home from work!

lol I also use the word pita, almost renamed my dog Pita when we had problems housebreaking her

So what's the advantage of using Internet Explorer to download files over using Firefox?
I hardly ever use IE anyway, because Firefox is easier to use in general, and less prone
to picking up trojans, worms, virii, etc.  And I have never encountered any download
limits with Firefox.

Prolly none at all, but I like using IE7 that's all!

Bill gates is a God!!  ;-^)

Yep, I've been doing that for years.

Yup same here. I like IE and this is just one limitation that has been fixed.
