Hi,

My two cents worth of data on this subject:

I have a cable connection that sometimes downloads at better than T1 speeds(>190MBs). The upload speed is only around 65Mbs though.

So... I enter T1 as my speed and connect to 10 'hosts'. I then start downloading many files. When I reach somewhere around 15 downloads and 20 'requeries' going all at the same time I have about a 50% chance of locking up my whole system. I've done this with 2.5.5 and 2.6.3, it is fairly repeatable.

I have never been able to notice what was happening on the upload side of things when this happens. I suspect that I might have had several uploads going at the time.

I figured this was an issue of system resources so I didn't worry too much about it. In my case if I connect to no more than 4 'hosts' I can have all the downloads going that I want without a problem.

I have noticed that when LW is trying to auto connect to hosts It gets REAL SLOW in responding at the download window. Again, I figured this was a system resource issue so I don't worry about it.
