I'm not sure how exactly LW determines if a host is browsable or not. However, the chat icon is a pretty good indication it "might be".

I think browsing a host is the equivalent of asking for a download slot, because all the same behaviour seems to apply.

If I download three files from a host which allows three per user, I can't browse it. If I download 2 files, then I often can browse.
That's interesting. I can sometimes browse people who don't have a chat icon listed. So perhaps it is open slot dependent. But I find browsing a host can sometimes help reactivate downlds. That's one of the big plusses I find with using it. Not to mention the others I mentioned earlier.
