    Opera has built-in support to set the number of Maximum connections to a server and Total Connection.

    MS bashing prevents IE from having that option. The HTTP spec says the agent should not have more than 2 simultaneous connections to one server. Thus IE is following the spec, yet IE gets bashed for being too slow. If MS added the option, they'd get bashed for not following the spec. Other browsers can do it because they're not IE and therefore not evil.

    IE doesn't care about the specs too much, let's not play games. That is unless you consider W3C having nothing to do with protocols and specs. Also, IE's rendering engine is slower. More simultanious connections won't fix that. Jeremy Falcon

      See class, this is a good example of the MS bashing I was talking about.

        By saying it has a slow rendering engine? :laugh: Really, you're head is stuck so far up MS's ass it's sad. Jeremy Falcon

          Firefox itself does not support it

          Try going to: "about:config" and look for: network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server That allows you to change it on a bog standard install of FF 1.5 And for those wanting to change the setting in IE: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183110/ (I have never tried it, but it looks like it should work) Chris.

          Hmm... Didn't make myself very clear, what I was trying to say is that they don't make it very obvious for the average user and since it's not turned on by default (in a standard install) most users won't use it unless they use a tool like Fasterfox.  If there wasn't faster fox then because it's open source the people who wanted it would find a way anyway so Mozilla have gone down the middle. I hope that conveys my thoughts more clearly than before (if they were indeed my thoughts... :rolleyes:)
