- Almost all of the major FTP sites are limiting connections these days. I was
- suprised to find that wuarchive set limits at 60 connections at any one time
- ... this was a few weeks back. The U.S. hour limitations for the atari.archive
- site were imposed recently as well.
-
- It's not uncommon. Even the major Windows FTP site (ftp.cica.indiana.edu for
- those who don't already know) limits the number of concurrent connections.
-
- As the Internet expands, such limitations are increasing.
