About Simultaneuous Dlwds

[minimalistik]

Hey Guys,

Im on 56k and I wanted to increase the number of simultaneuous downloads on my computer which has XP OS. I read on another thread and i followed through steps which went ino RegEdit and ive added two lines MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server (setted to decimal and value of 10) and MaxConnectionsPerServer (also to decimal and value of 10).
Process:
1)regedit
2)Hkey_current_user>software>microsoft>windows>Internet settings

I was wondering does this actually take effect after reconnecting my internet? I tried it with 4 simultaneous dlwds but the last one just cuts off. Would my netspeed also have anything to do with it? Any recommendations how to successfully increase simultaneous downloads would be great ;)

well first off think of it this way...

if you are connecting with dial-up

then you are downloading one file at about 2.2k speed

then you are downloading another file at about 1.2 speed


then another one around 1.2 speed...

eventually you are going to run out of bandwidth there bud...then on top of that windows has to delegate to each file - which also slows things up.

having a 56k connection - in my opinion you don't need to be downloading more than 2 files at a time.

Sure it may sound quicker to download more at once - but its not, at the connection speed you have...

Yeah man,
I would defenetly agree with pr on this one. Downloading one file at a time is much more efficient then even doing 2. I have cable, and sometimes, when I try to download about 3-4 files at a time, it gets ridicuosly slow. So I just do about 2 at a time, 3 maybe, depending on the size of the file your trying to download.
