I need help downloading files...PLEASE!

ok guys, here is the problem

How can I download more than 2 files from the same webstie??
I tried many different web sites, but for some reason my PC would not start downloading a third file from the same web site if there are two downloads already running from the same website...

Is there something in the settings I could change???

I hope you guys understand what i am trying to say

HELPPPPPP!

eh I think that is server side. SO you'd have to get into the server and change it.

this happens to me all the time with pr0n movies.....dem basturds.

Actually no. There is a registry tweak to allow you to make more than 2 connections to the server. On XP it's:

quote:

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.
Open your registry and find the key below.

Create two new values, or modify the existing values, called 'MaxConnectionsPerServer' and 'MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server'. Change the values to equal the number of simultaneous requests allowed to a single HTTP server, the default values are 2 and 4 respectively.

Restart Windows for the change to take effect.

Note: By changing these settings you are causing Windows to break the HTTP protocol specification for any Internet applications running on your machine.

Note: This affects all Windows Internet applications that use the standard API, including Internet Explorer.

User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings]
Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer, MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value)
Value Data: Number of Simultaneous Connections

2 downloads at a time is because of internet explorer. It happens to me too. I use a download accelerator program, so i dont have that problem.

If you download Netscape, another browser, then it will allow you to download more than 2 files at a time.

May be theres a reason they implemented 2 downloads at a time

you can download the demo too

It has some spyware in there, there are probably better download accelerators out there like Getright or others, just search around at http://www.tucows.com under their software section
