    You can only have two concurrent connections to a server using TCP/IP. Go
    to a web site with 4 big images and you'll see they d/l two at a time. Or
    right-click and Save As three files from a server and you'll notice that the
    third will only open the Save As dialogue when one of the other connections
    has successfully downloaded.

    Not sure if this is a feature of TCP/IP under Windows or IE using HTTP over
    TCP/IP, but that is how it is. It might be configurable through the
    registry but the limit is there to stop one client hogging all the resources
    on the target server.
