      MS bashing prevents IE from having that option. The HTTP spec says the agent should not have more than 2 simultaneous connections to one server. Thus IE is following the spec, yet IE gets bashed for being too slow. If MS added the option, they'd get bashed for not following the spec. Other browsers can do it because they're not IE and therefore not evil.

                  I'm thinking in the case of Firefox here... Firefox has the support (probably just a constant passed to a function) for more than 2 connections so because it's open source you can install extensions which simplify the process of "upgrading" this constant. In otherwords Firefox itself does not support it but extensions which you download, after agreeing to a disclaimer, do allow you to change it fairly easily.


                  Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

                    Hi All, I really love the new IE(7) and it's features. but it's deadly slow when comparing with FF and Opera. Opera has built-in support to set the number of Maximum connections to a server and Total Connection. FF has Fasterfox for performance and network tweaks. Even without the network tweaks Opera and FF have a reasonable speed for uploading/downloading. IE still lacking such a feature. there are some registry tweaks in web for making IE fast. even after using the same, I didnt feel any difference :( Any people know how to make IE faster? SaRath.

                          Is there a recommeded number of connections to set in FF to get the best perfomance? Or does it depend on your the size of your broadband connection? Words fade as the meanings change, but somehow, it don't bother me.

                                IE doesn't care about the specs too much, let's not play games. That is unless you consider W3C having nothing to do with protocols and specs. Also, IE's rendering engine is slower. More simultanious connections won't fix that. Jeremy Falcon

                                      Try going to: "about:config" and look for: network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server That allows you to change it on a bog standard install of FF 1.5 And for those wanting to change the setting in IE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183110/ (I have never tried it, but it looks like it should work) Chris.

                                      Hmm... Didn't make myself very clear, what I was trying to say is that they don't make it very obvious for the average user and since it's not turned on by default (in a standard install) most users won't use it unless they use a tool like Fasterfox.  If there wasn't faster fox then because it's open source the people who wanted it would find a way anyway so Mozilla have gone down the middle. I hope that conveys my thoughts more clearly than before (if they were indeed my thoughts... :rolleyes:)
