Speed up IE (simple reg hack)
Mar 28, 2003 at 6:27 PM Post #17 of 44
thanks for the tip. I assume just deleting the new reg entries will reverse it.

for the macintosh version of IE, you can set the max number (up to 10) of connections per server from IE itself. I wonder why microsoft doesn't allow you to set this for the windows version of IE (windows IE unmodded still faster than mac IE @ max connections in download speed though).

This tip will work very well, I've been using this since the day of Win2k Beta (ver.????). I have mine set at 50 and its very very stable and with a 3.5Mbps connection it would be wrong if I didn't try to squeeze every drop of that bandwidth.

Cool trick

I've set mine to 25

Seems that AvantBrowser (seeing that it runs off of the IE core) is a lot quicker too...

I read somewhere before about the maxconnectionsperserver registry setting, but not the other one...

thanks for the heads up

I'm not sure.

I don't think it will cause anything to explode, but you might get a freeze or you might not get an improvement at all. I think a better hack for a dial-up might be to set IE to download 1 image at a time rather than 2.

If someone tries it with a dial-up, post impressions. It seems ServingEquador didn't have an issue. He seemed to like it.

Now the question is, what happens if you go over 10?

Mine was set for 42 and 24 already!

I set them both to 10 and it does seem a bit better.
So I guess that more may not be better in this case.

Tried it out and I get some noticeable speed differences in I.E

Not bad at all for a minute of work ....

I can't get the file to work. I'm on Windows 98SE (unfortunately). I download the file and save it as "all files" instead of a WinZip file and named it as 10conn.reg. When I run it, I get an error that says the file does not contain registry entries.
