Hello.
First, make sure they are updated.
For Internet Explorer
Go to your registry (click start menu, run, regedit) then go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Internet Settings

Then make two DWORD value by clicking edit and called one MaxConnectionsPerServer and the other MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Set both of the values to 99 and put them on decimal.

For Firefox
Type about:config in the adress bar (in firefox). Then right click on any of the strings and select new and string. Name it nglayout.initialpaint.delay set the value to 0
Now in the filter bar type network.http.pipelining
double click on that when it appears
Now type network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and when you find it set the value to 999999999
Now type and find network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server and set the value to 999999999
Now type and find network.http.max-connections and set the value to 999999999
Now type and find network.max-connections-per-server and set the value to 999999999

You are now done.

Close and reopen, restart computer to be sure.

If you are not using a proxy and experience problems not being able to download multiple files, you can raise this value. It is,
however, considered poor etiquette to make too many connections to a server and may lead to you being banned from that server.
Anything above 10 is excessive. What are you trying to accomplish? Firefox has reports of it hanging up with too high a number.

Your speed is limited by your bandwidth, no matter what else you do. Many file servers will divide the bandwidth allocated by the
number of connections you have. You can use multiple proxies to get around this, up to the limit of your bandwidth.

The news servers limit to (4) Cox, others to (2) connections. I have found that my D/L speed drops to 1/2 rather quickly with
multiple connections. Like (4).
just my 2 cents!

Hi.
Yes, you can get banned from a sevre rfor having too many connections, although it has never happened to me.

I set it to 10 (for IE as I don't use FireFox) as part of my registry tweaks.
