Registry change to allow more than two downloads no longer works!

About a year ago I changed the registry in my computer to
allow more than two similtaneaous downloads in Internet
Explorer. That was adding the
values "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"
and "MaxConnectionsPerServer ". But now, suddenly it no
longer works even though those values still exist. The
only change I can think of that I have made recently to
the computer is running Ad-Aware once and allowing a recent auto-update from Microsoft.

I have tried erasing and then re-adding the values, but
still I can only make the standard two downloads at one
time.

Did Microsoft make changes so I can no longer have more than two downloads? Could Ad-Aware be interfering with my ability to edit the registry? Any ideas??

 

Hi ckilkus
Welcome to the boards! I've not got an answer for you...but it seems you're not alone.

 

I would rather download a flashget.

 

How are you determining its not working? Are you sure that its not being limited on the server-side? I'd expect that if it was server side, you would see a third socket opened, and either reset, or delayed until one of the other FSMs spins down.
