it's down to the site you're downloading from
you can use a download manager to manage all the downloads so it automatically downloads the next file when one is finished

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
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, and then add the following registry values:
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=Dword000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=Dword000000a

Yep That is correct .
New DWORD, name it as that, then double click it and give it a value of 0000000a Hexadecimal .

Or
Open Notepad and paste in the following :
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
"MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server"=dword000000a
"MaxConnectionsPerServer"=dword000000a
Save it as blah.reg , then double click it and it'll put it in there for you

cheers mate, got it working! Does this mean pages might load a bit faster too? Especially ones with loads of small images, as it will download more than 2 at a time before making a new connection?
