Configure IE to download more than 2 concurrent files
IE 6 has a nasty habit of preventing us from downloading more than 2 files at once. Sounds idiotic? Believe it or not, it's true! To configure IE to allow up to 10 simultaneous downloads (it only allows 2 at a time) do the following:
Open Registry Editor.
In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry value:
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword:0000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword:0000000a
You can change 0000000a to any other value as long as it's hexadecimal.
Close the registry editor

Install the ISO Burner PowerToy
If you have a CDR-W on your XP computer, you should also try the ISO burner PowerToy to enable ISO file-burning as a native XP command. You can also get it from HERE (145kb - Local download).
ISO Recorder PowerToy is a UI component that allows to use CD-Recording capabilities of Windows XP to record ISO images and copy CD to CD - a piece of functionality missing in Windows XP. The ISO Recorder itself does not record CDs but instead uses existing OS features. This software works on Windows XP only!
You can use this tool to record ISO images. Right-click on an ISO file and select "Copy Image to CD". The wizard will open up. The file name should appear in the "File name" edit box.
You can use this tool to create ISO images. Right-click on a CD drive icon in My Computer and select "Copy CD to Image File".
You can also use this tool to copy CDs. Right-click on a CD drive icon in "My Computer" and select "Copy Disk to CD".
