Only downloading 2 files at a time through IE

Crabman

Hey hey

Anyone know how I can increase the maximum number of files that can be downloaded through IE??

I'm getting some fun packs from Microsoft's website (getting them applied to Windows Movie Maker is another mystery) but can only get two at a time - I was going to leave my laptop for a while but can't get it to do more than two at once.

I know downloading more will impact on the speed but doesn't matter if I'm leaving the laptop for a while with an ADSL connection to itself

Cheers techies - you're the best :T

You need a download manager like this.

Use FlashGet. By far the best Windows downloads manger; integrates into IE (as well as other browser). Best news of all the price has just been dropped from $30 to zilch, nada, rien.

:cool:

If you use firefox I recommend the extension downloadthemall its free and will download multi parts of a file if you so wish and or will collect from a web site, jpegs, files etc with a click of a button all set up filters for collecting file formats from a web site

DownThemAll lets you download all the links or images contained in a webpage and much more: you can refine your downloads by fully customizable criteria to get only what you really want.
DownThemAll is all you can desire from a download manager: it features an advanced accelerator that increases speed up to 400%, it allows you to pause and resume downloads at any time and, last but not least, it's fully integrated into your favorite browser!
