    In IE
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

    MaxConnectionsPerServer REG_DWORD (Default 2)
    Sets the number of simultaneous requests to a single HTTP 1.1 Server

    MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server REG_DWORD (Default 4)
    Sets the number of simultaneous requests to a single HTTP 1.0 Server

    Look up the keys in the registry and change the values.

    In Firefox
    Enter about:config in the address bar.

    Search for and change the value of network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server

    Be warey that some servers may not allow more than the current number of connections from a single client (the default numbers are the recommended maximums as set out by the protocol specifications).

    you can use XpAntiSpy to change the number of connections in IE - saves having to use regedit.
