[Fasterfox] Number of Servers?

[Andrew]

Cool Idea. great in theory, but um, maybe you should lower the number of
connections per server.  In fact, I think most servers only allow 2
simultaneous connections per IP (or host, or mac, . depends on the
security).  You might want to stop offending site administrators by lowering
the number of simultaneous connections to one base URI (or server).  Perhaps
if you scheduled these "extra connections" through a proxy you might lower
the chance of offending SA's.  But then you'd probably lower the speed of
FasterFox.  Btw, a good place to give your product a "whirl" would be
images.google.com.  Bet all those sites would start prefetching hella.. Oh,
and why we're on the topic of prefetching, and maybe I should have read the
docs, but exactly how deep does your precatching go?  Do you dl links to
links to links?  Or do you do a breadth depth prefetching mechanism.  Let me
know?  Thanks.
