This article will show you how to speed up Internet Explorer by modifying the maximum number of connections per server. This will allocate additional bandwidth and moderately improve your Internet browsing speed. This process involves editing the Windows Registry, so it may be a good idea to back up your registry accordingly.

Make sure to select 'Decimal', instead of the default 'Hexadecimal' under Base . Change the value depending on your connection speed. If you use dial-up, set the value to 6. If you use DSL or faster, you may set a value from 10 to 16, as you desire.

Be careful when using the Windows Registry Editor. Editing any other values may cause Windows to stop operating. You may wish to back up your registry before performing any tasks.
