Vista - Internet Explorer - Maximum Download Sessions

LOL, it would not surprise me if it was.

More or less equals the golden ratio

I noticed ya'll said that it work with Firefox. Does this accomplish the same thing as altering the MaxConnectionsPerServer in about:config? In other words, should I apply this to my registry if I've already altered them in Firefox?

Hi Carolina,
It really does not matter.
With regards to the max number i think that the Hexa value should be 0a (10) instead of 10 (16)
Wait for Shawn to confirm.

Doh!

Thank you Sid for catching this. The tutorial has been updated to use the correct Decimal settings not Hex.

what about Avant Browser ?

Avant Browser is an overlay on IE, I believe - so applying this to the IE settings makes Avant use it as well.

Hi ReD_FoX,

Yes, it should work for any web browser program. It is a universal setting in Vista that is not specific to just IE7.

This newbie could use a bit of help. Used the download method on "OPTION TWO" and this is what I have now in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings:

MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server REG_DWORD 0x0000000a (10)
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server REG_DWORD 0x00000010 (16)
MaxConnectionsPerServer REG_DWORD 0x0000000a (10)
MaxConnectionsPerServer REG_DWORD 0x00000010 (16)

Is this correct or should everything be at (10)?

I've made no changes in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings, in fact I don't even show a setting for
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server or MaxConnectionsPerServer there

Hi Hdbg62,

You should only have one set in the HKLM section. See the screenshot below step 12 in Option Two.

MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server REG_DWORD 0x0000000a (10)
MaxConnectionsPerServer REG_DWORD 0x0000000a (10)


You will have to create the entries in the HKCU section, but it is not necessary if you have them in the HKLM section since it affects all user account.

The number in the (10) brackets is the Decimal value for 10 in Modify, and the 0x0000000a is the Hexadecimal value for 10 in Modify.

Hope this helps,
Shawn
