Title: limit on downloads
Post by: yhm_7 on November 03, 2007, 07:45:01 PM

I can't find the option "limits -->Max connections (from single address)" .

I think it's a useful option.

when I set 5 for "Max connections from single address", user can only download file with 5 connection, at same time,user can also browse folder page. But now can't set max connections.

I download 128,it has "limits -->Max connections (from single address)".

You mean you want to be able to define that option per folder?

Well, I think you would have to wait until HFS 3.0 for that one.

you are using the WRONG feature.
you want to limit downloads, so use the "max simul. downloads from single address".
this will save you a headache.

Sorry for my carelessness. I have find the option.
But It didn't work with firefox.

I want user to download file with less than 2 connections,but don't limit user to browse folder page.

So I set "max simultenous downloads from single address" :2, and speedlimit:50K
The other limit option :disable

Result:
IE and Opera: user can only download file with 2 connection,and at same time the user can browse  folder.
Firefox: user can only download file with 2 connection,and at same time the user can't open folder page,just waiting till file downloaded.


I have test with 138 and 126, occurred same question.

This has nothing to do with HFS. It is a firefox setting.

1. Open your firefox
2. go to about:config
(http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/images/aboutconfig-addressbar.png)
3. network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server
4. it is set to 2 by default, increase it
