Downloading multiple files

[gunrunr`]

Trying to download several items at once and computer
will only download 2 and then won't even allow me to surf
the web. My old computer on ME would allow me to
download many files and still surf. How do I change
settings or can I?? I have broadband internet so
bandwidth shouldn't be the problem.

to 10, follow these steps:
