Speed up Internet Explorer

Editing the System Registry can have affect your system. Make no changes to the System Registry without having a complete backup of important files and only after setting a System Restore Point.Proceed at your own risk!


To be compliant to the standard, Internet Explorer limits the number of connections to one web server.
Depending on the type of server, the number of connections is limited to 2 or 4.

This tweak removes this limit. Note that your browser will no longer be compliant. But it will be lots faster.
The tweak

Go to the registry key:

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

Look for the following values:

MaxConnectionsPerServer
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server

If they don't exist, create them as DWORD values.

Set these values to the number of simultaneous connections you want to allow. A good value is 50.
