Internet Explorer 6.0: Internet Explorer may appear to stop responding when requesting many objects

SUPPORT SOLUTION:
When Microsoft Internet Explorer makes many requests for
objects, it may stop responding (hang). Requests to the current
Web server may not be completed, and the Internet Explorer window displays an
arrow-hourglass pointer.When this problem occurs, images may not
appear as expected, and a message may appear in the status bar at the bottom of
the window that there are a certain number of “items remaining”, or it
may say “Done”.This problem may occur if Internet Explorer sends many
HTTP requests, and then aborts many of those
requests. When this problem occurs, HTTP requests to the same Web server do not
succeed.Note When you use other Web servers, HTTP requests work
correctly.Download information

Microsoft has
confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 Service Pack
1.
Typically, when Internet Explorer aborts an HTTP request,
the page no longer has to have a reference for that resource (such as an image, a
JScript (.js) file, an HTML component (.htc) file, or a Cascading Style Sheet
(.css) file). This problem may occur when you rapidly open and
close many nodes of a DHTML treeview-like control. The problem occurs more
frequently when Internet Explorer is set to look for newer versions on every
visit to the Web page because this generates more HTTP requests. (Typically, these requests are “get”
requests).Other factors that contribute to HTTP traffic may also
generate more HTTP requests. These factors include setting the cache attribute
and network latency. Network latency contributes to the problem because there
is a greater chance of aborting an HTTP request.If you raise the
connection limit per server, you can delay the problem. The problem occurs
because Internet Explorer may occasionally lose HTTP connections internally.
Because 2 is the standard connection limit for HTTP 1.1, the problem occurs
later if you raise the connection limit.Note This is a “FAST PUBLISH” article created directly from within the Microsoft support organization.
