77. Increase Internet Download Connections

I have already given this trick in my last PDF file (XP Tricks& Tips). I have received many
mails asking me what the keys really meant? Now I’m bound to explain them. Let me explain
the trick once again. This trick increase Simultaneous Internet Download Connections
and increases the number of allowed simultaneous connections to a higher number. The
default value is only five connections.

Navigate to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings.

Right click on the window pane and create a DWord key with the name
“MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server” as it is without quotes. Set the value to a higher number
like 0000000a. Note that they are zeros and not alphabet ‘O’.

Right click on the window pane and create another DWord key with the name
“MaxConnectionsPerServer”. No quotes please. Set the value to a higher number like
0000000a. Note that they are zeros and not alphabet ‘O’.
