    ok, is this a settings thing or just an annoying "feature":

    Every now and then, when I click on something for download it closes the browser window when it opens the download dialogue box. Getting to be a bit poxy.

    Also, anyone know why my browser will only download two files at once. It's on a seriously disgustingly sized line but I can still only download two files at once. Not life wrecking, but slows things down quite a bit. Under 5.0 I could happily download 10 or 15 files simultaenously....

    Perhaps you should try right clicking the link for the download and opening it in a new window.

    As for the only 2 files at once thing, I dunno, sorry- I've avoided installing 5.5 thus far as the cons outweigh the pros from what I've seen. The only real benefit I see to it is Print Preview, whereas there are bugs which have shown up time and again in our own web-sites in QA checks which have been purely down to rendering and other bugs in IE 5.5 - problems which don't show in 5.0 - they're small, simple things, but enough in my view to avoid 5.5 for the moment.

    Anyone know if this looks like it works?

    Edit the Number of HTTP Sessions Allowed
    HTTP specification requires that no one computer can have more than 2 simultaneous connections to any single HTTP server. This will affect all Windows application that uses the standard API, including Internet Explorer. People who keep multiple files on an online hard drive hate this restriction, because they can only download two or four files at a time.
    Windows developers choose to limit the maximum connections to a HTTP 1.0 server to four. In the HTTP 1.1 specification the number of connections was mandated to 2.
    To enable more than two connections, create two new entries in the key below, called “MaxConnectionsPerServer” and “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server”. The “MaxConnectionsPerServe” entry resolves the number of connections to an HTTP 1.1 server, where “MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server” resolves the number of connections to an HTTP 1.0 server.

    Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\internet Explorer
    Entry: MaxConnectionsPerServer and MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
    Data: Number of Simultaneous Connections You Need
    Data Type: REG_DWORD
