    don't go over 5 connections to a site

    note: pipelining does not "screw" bandwidth as a page with 10MB of images will still only puch 10MB, the problem is if the page has 100x 100kb images and you send GETs to the server for all of them at once:
    1) the sever's bandwidth use and cpu load will spike
    2) the server may think it's being attacked and issue a ban <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
    This is what I was trying to say in my first post, but BM once again is smarter than more. Hooray for the white hatted black mage!

    You can open .js files in Notepad or Wordpad to edit them.

    Launch up firefox.

    Type about:config in the adress bar

    Then edit the changes as stated in the first post.
