The real question is why are you using IE 7? Download Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Apple Safari.

Firefox: The Tank; Well defended and armed to the teeth as far as web browsers go, although a bit slower than other browsers.

Chrome: The F1 Race Car; Fast as lightning but lacking add-ons and extensions, although some say its simplicity is its strong point. (which I agree with)

Safari: Meh, its alright. Pretty nice looking, fairly fast, some alright features, etc.

I believe it has to do with the website that you are downloading from. But it could be something to do with either Windows or the internet browser. Not really sure to be honest. But my guess is that it has to do with the website. Having multiple downloads per user probably puts some sort of undesired load on their servers or something. Maybe try looking into torrents.

i think your limited to a set number of connections per instance so you can some times download LOADS of files at any one time, but other sites that allow multipul connections you can some times only download 2 files at a time.

where as firefox your connection limit is set to site connections, downloads are limited to about 3 from any one site.

This has been a problem with IE for quite a while. Here is a link from Microsoft that will let you increase that number.
