    Anyone know how to do this in XP SP2...

    ...change the max amount of simultaneous downloads from 2 to whatever?

    All I can find is a way to do it in the original XP, fucking with the registry doesn't work in SP2.

      Use a download manager.

      For instance: Get Right

        http://www.totalidea.com/frameset-tweakxp.htm This software will do it. Trial is free can use it like 35 times. Once you change your settings they dont change back if trial expires.

          On this guys page, about halfway down he has a registry hack to do what you want. I haven't used it myself.

            What the hell are you talking about? I can download 20 things at once w/o any registry tweaks or hacks.

            Fling.com doesn't steal your traffic and sales unlike some other dating companies. I promote them, and so should you!

                  Windows XP SP 2 has a TCP download limit of 10 connections per second, this inhibits functionality of some programs like port scanners, file sharing etc.

                    It's server side. Some sites allow a max of 2 (or insert a number). Some don't. It can vary, but it's on their end. I've never heard of it in XP either.
