Answer:
After having consulted two friends who are major Microsoft geeks (and having received a word of encouragement from my friend and colleague Tisme, in the "Comments" section below), I feel confident that you'll find both an answer to the "why" and a fix for the problem here: "SUMMARY This article describes how to configure Internet Explorer to have more than two download sessions. MORE INFORMATION Warning: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. To comply with current Internet standards (Request for Comments 2068), Internet Explorer limits the number of simultaneous downloads to two downloads, plus one queued download. This configuration is a function of the browser. However, as connection speeds increase, and the number of total connections that are allowed to Internet servers increase, the two-connection limit may be restrictive. To increase the number of simultaneous connections that are allowed to 10, follow these steps: 1. Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe). 2. Locate the following key in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings 3. On the Edit menu, point to New click DWORD Value, and then add the following registry values: Value name: MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server Value data: 10 Base: Decimal Value Name: MaxConnectionsPerServer Value data: 10 Base: Decimal 4. Quit Registry Editor. This procedure is for informational purposes only. Changing the maximum number of connections beyond two is a violation of Internet standards; Microsoft does not recommend this procedure for use outside closed networks."
