The restriction is due to a RFC guideline. That must mean that Netscape = is not following the RFC... hmmm... "Windows will limit connections to a single HTTP 1.0 server to four = simultaneous connections. Connections to a single HTTP 1.1 server will = be limited to two simultaneous connections. The HTTP 1.1 specification = (RFC2068) mandates the two connection limit while the four connection = limit for HTTP 1.0 is a self-imposed restriction which coincides with = the standard used by a number of popular Web browsers." -----Original Message----- From: Jim.Walls@xxxxxxx [mailto:Jim.Walls@xxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2002 8:48 AM To: windows2000@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [windows2000] Re: More than two downloads simultaneously in IE? > Supposedly there is a registry tweak one can set to be able to do > more than two downloads simultaneously in IE. Would anybody which > one it is Gee, yet another reason I prefer Netscape. As I recall the most = downloads I have done simultaineously with Netscape was 24 files at the same time. Worked fine.
