IE does infact have support for download restrictions enforced per server (ie you cant download more than x files from the same server at once). I am not 100% sure whether these are installed by default, or which versions this applies to.
As a fix you might like to try adding the following registry keys to your system.
Location:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
Keys:
DWord "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server" Value "00000010"
DWord "MaxConnectionsPerServer" Value "00000008"

Oh right so using synchronous DNS with a higher value than the default http. 1.0 protocol is considered a good choice?
All it does is making your browser a selfish connection pig.
As for d/l more than 2 files at the same time in IE, there is no need to edit your registry, seeing that it follow the standard protocol it should be able to d/l 4 files at the same time.
Should it however be following the http1.1 protocol, which means its a newer version than 5.1, the standard is set to 2 files pr. session and with good reason. Upping that number is not a good practice.
The correct answer would be that using the latest IE you can d/l as many files as you want at the same time, save when these files are from one single server in which the maximum is 4 or 2 depending on version. The incorrect answer is giving solutions to avoiding the http protocol, we have enough idiots out there trying to break the net without you adding to their cause.
I gave a derogatory answer without thinking that the poor kid might be talking about d/l from one server alone.
Silly me.
You gave him the recipie to break a protocol, ignorant you.
Referring to the HTTP1.1 Spec section 8.1.4 Practical Considerations - "Clients that use persistent connections SHOULD limit the number of simultaneous connections that they maintain to
a given server. A single-user client SHOULD NOT maintain more than 2 connections with any server or proxy. A
proxy SHOULD use up to 2*N connections to another server or proxy, where N is the number of simultaneously
active users. These guidelines are intended to improve HTTP response times and avoid congestion."
So lets just say we both should think before answering.
