    Is there any way to increase the number similtaneous downloads in I.E. from just 2? I had a look thru the internet-options tab but I couldn't find anything about this. Netscape used to allow you to do about 16(?) so I guess there must be some way to set this up?

    Thanks!

    Download Accelerator Plus

    Download Mage

    Flash Get

    Thanks for the suggestion WM, but I need to be able to do it without messing around with the registry or installing new software.

    You can only do it those ways I'm afraid Pigman. If you're not comfortable tinkering with the registry, then you shouldn't; but if you're ok with it, it's actually a very simple procedure. It's even documented in the MS KB; see result three here.

    Thanks dahamasta. From a know-how point of view I'm quite happy to alter the registry but in this case it is a work computer so I'd be a bit apprensive about changing things that the IT people would probably rather be left well alone.

    I haven't checked yet either but I wouldn't be suprised if they hadn't already put some password restrictions on changing the registry anyway.

    As one of those very same IT people I say f**k the bastards install what you want.

    l0pht crack their paswords if needs be!

    From my experience in IT Helpdesks I think if you keep it in reason and know what your about they won't have any problem with the odd bit of software here and there installed.

    p.s. I use GetRight for past few years have no problems with it.
