You can configure Internet Explorer to allow 10 simultaneous downloads (the normal maximum is 2). Copy and paste the code below into Notepad and save it as 'Downloads.reg' (remember where you saved it to).
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Internet Settings] "MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword:0000000a "MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword:0000000a
Make sure all Internet Explorer windows are closed then double-click on the 'Download.reg' file and click Yes to enter it into the Registry.
