Can anyone tell me the reg setting that enables more than two downloads per browser window. I am using a proxy server.

Thanks

Get the Web Patch for u'r OS and remember to reboot.

Secondly, you shouldn't use the proxy server, it's generally slower than what you can actually get.

To disable proxy server of @homes, go to start, run,
type: regsvr32 -u ahiehelp.dll (Space between 2 and -) This will disable proxy for good. Go to Control Panel, internet options, connection tab at top, LAN settings at bottom, click. Uncheck Automatic Detection and uncheck use proxy server, your done.
