Warning : If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. This trick cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

However, as connection speeds increase, and the number of total connections that are allowed to Internet servers increase, the two-connection limit may be restrictive. To increase the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed to 10, follow these steps:

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). OR Click >>> Start >>> Run >>> type : regedit >>> Enter
   

2. Locate the following key in the registry :

   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

   Value name : MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
   Value data: 10
   Base: Decimal
   Value Name : MaxConnectionsPerServer
   Value data: 10
   Base: Decimal
