Greetings,

I am curious why the max simultaneous connections seems to be coded to
allow values no higher than 3. It looks like I am going to have to patch the source to get more than 3 simultaneous connections.

Thanks,

Zack

The hard limit on the number of active connections is a deliberate
choice, in order to be 'net-friendly'. It is relevant to the "Good Net
Keeping Seal of Approval" of which Pan is a recipient.

Interesting, that's helpful. My provider happens to allow up to 20 simultaneous connections (Giganews). Would you please point me to the relevant code? I'm currently resorting to recursively grepping for things like "max_connections" and "connection-limit".

Cheers,

Zack
