How to Change Internet Connections on Internet Explorer 8
The release of Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) included a number of connectivity enhancements from the previous version. One of the notable changes was an increase in the number of concurrent connections the software allowed from a single host process that was connected via broadband to a single server. IE8 now allows six, where IE7 only allowed four. You can make these connection changes yourself by using the Group Policy Editor Method.
