Movie Parallel Downloads

Hi,

I signed up for sponsor membership which should allow up to 8 parallel downloads from the movies section. However, I can only get two at a time. While these two are downloading, I can't even go to another page on the site - I am locked until one of the downloads ends.

What gives ?

That's weird? I am able to download at least 5 at a time(haven't tried with more). The only thing is that two of them download very fast, and the rest seem to drag along, yet they are still downloading.

I don't download anything here, but I do download part of programs for my work.
And I had to modify something in Windows, so that I would be able to download more than 2 things at the same time.

Now I can download upto 8 per time, although it is not very fast anymore, if you download in big volumes.

I don't know if it's still the same, but IE was always limited to 2 downloads at a time.

That's correct screwy.one, but if you modify the registery a little bit, you will be able to download more than just 2.
I'm still looking for the description I got (a long time ago), on 1 of the many many many cd's I burned for backup.

Yeap, you're right.
The text I had was just a little bit different, but it all adds up to the same thing.

Hi,

you guys were right. I changed the setting and was able to download more at a time.

Many thanks.

I usually get the 2 parallel at a time too.

But sometimes I've been albe to dl more at the time.
Might have something to do with traffic and connections also...
