When you connect to a website your computer establishes connections with the web server(s). One connection might be a graphics server, another connection may be an ad server and so on. Once the connection has received what it asked for it is disconnected and used for something else.By default IE7 is set to only be able to open 2 or 4 connections at a time. If you have broadband and you use tabs in IE7 or you visit sites that use lots of connections this tweak will increase the speed of IE7 a little.
You can easily increase the number of simultaneous connections with the following trick.
Open notepad and paste the code below in it (code in green).
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] “MaxConnectionsPerServer”=dword:00000010 “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server”=dword:0000010
Save this file as fastnet.reg (or any other name, but make sure to give it a .reg extension) on your desktop. Exit notepad and doubleclick this file. The information in this file will merge with windows registry and will increase the number of simulteneous connections allowed in Internet Explorer.
This trick works with all versions of and above IE 5. Please be noted that this trick doesn't double the speed or something like that, but you will definitely notice better speed.
