Increase Download Limit; Speed Up your Internet Explorer

Did you know that Internet Explorer 7 or earlier versions (IE 6, IE 5.5, IE 5, etc.) was limited to a download limit of 2 at any instance. Which means when you enter a web page URI in your browser’s address bar and click on ‘Go’ your browser sends a maximum download request of 2 to the server from where the web page is getting served. In other words whether the web page contains images, style-sheets, scripts, swf objects, etc. a maximum of two components can be downloaded at a time in parallel per hostname as per HTTP/1.1 specification.

With the launch of IE 8 the maximum number of download requests got changed to 6 which means faster browsing experience compared to its previous versions. The reason Microsoft changed this is because of the faster internet connection speeds now a days.

Increase this download limit 10 and speed up your Internet Explorer (You must have IE 5.5 or higher version)

There are two ways to do that:-

  2. Run the program and you are on!

Happy browsing :) ! BTW which browser you love the most?
