In my search for ways to get the most out of my new adsl2 connection I came across an old article of tips and tricks including how to allow Internet explorer to have more then 2 simultaneous connections. I cannot believe it but it would appear that IE7 still only has 2 as the default! (Firefox has 8)
So to change it to 10 you do the following:

- Start Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Regedt).
- Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings - On the Edit menu, point to New click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values:
Value name: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal
Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer
Value data: 10
Base: Decimal - Quit Registry Editor.
- Restart IE.
