Tip: Download more than 2 files at once (Internet Explorer)

Posted onAuthorAlex Verboon1 Comment

I had thought that by now this is something everybody knows, but unfortunately that is not the case, so that is why I post this one today.

By default, Windows Internet Explorer 7 and earlier versions limit the number of files that you can download at one time to two. Windows Internet Explorer 8 limits the number of files that you can download at one time to six. More details here

  1. Hey thanks for this. I actually was unaware that this was a limitation of Internet Explorer, but of course, I don’t really use IE a whole ton these days either 🙂
