Comment (by TemptorSent):

 Modern browsers and download agents utilize far more connections than they
 did when this bug was opened. If connection limits are really necessary,
 they should be set to at the very least 8, but preferably eliminated
 entirely and serious abuse handled at the network layer. If it's
 specifically downloads of large files that is causing concern, limits
 should be imposed only with that specific scope and/or a better means for
 handling very large files should be identified and implemented.
