W2K download speed

I know XP is much faster than W@K at d/l files.
Is there a tweak to speed up W@K and to allow many d/l's at once
thanks

I don't know if xp is faster or it is a function of the faster computer speed of most xp machines.
You can check here for some ideas to speed up your internet.

perhaps you can also try updating the network card drivers as well

 

Registry tweak for increasing the number of simultaneous connections in Win2K:

According to the HTTP specs, only limited number of simultaneous connections are allowed, while loading pages. To increase that number, you can add the following entries to the Registry (they are not present by default):

HKEY_USERS.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"MaxConnectionsPerServer "=dword:00000010
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server "=dword:00000010

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"MaxConnectionsPerServer "=dword:00000010
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server "=dword:00000010

Note: Keep in mind that although those values work fine in most cases, they exceed the HTTP specs and therefore might cause problems with some websites. If you experience problems, just remove the entries. While these entries might improve web page loading considerably, they tend to strain webservers more and have no effect on throughput.
