Vista Registry Tweak - Increase the Number of Simultaneous Downloads
Registry Tweak to Increase the Number of Simultaneous Downloads
Have you noticed a problem if you try to download more than two files at once from the internet? The default number of simultaneous downloads from a web server is only 2. By tweaking the registry you can increase the number to 10.
MaxConnectionsPerServer is a property of Internet Explorer, rather than of
Vista. Default values simultaneous downloads have increased in later
version of IE, thus in IE 7 the default is 2, whereas IE it's 6.
Do you find the MaxConnectionsPerServervalue in HKCU** or HKLM? Answer: HKCU
Should you add a value, or modify an existing setting? Answer: Create a new dword set the value = 0000000a
Is MaxConnectionsPerServer a String Value or a DWORD? Answer: DWORD.
Do you need to Restart, or merely Log Off / On?
Answer: As it's a HKCU, just logoff and logon.
Tip: Add this Value, MaxConnectionsPerServer to Regedit's Favorites menu
This maximum number of connections applies to any connection to a
web server, not just to downloads.
This limit of two connections is set by the HTTP 1.1 specification (RFC2068) rather than Microsoft.

The great feature of this new this new version of SolarWinds VM Monitor is that it
checks Windows Hyper-V. Naturally, it still works with virtual machines on VMware ESX Servers. VM Monitor is an nifty
desktop tool that not only tests that your server is online, but also
displays the CPU and memory utilization for each node.
It's easy to install and to configure this virtual machine monitor, all
you need the host server's IP address or hostname and the logon info.
This page explains how to create, and then edit .reg files for your computer. As it's easy to import the contents of a .reg file into the registry, do take extra
care with procedures. Example MaxConnectionsPerServer .reg file.
