Hi Jeff,

Small addition:
Internet Explorer by default uses only 2 simultaneous connections (that's
the HTTP standard) but there's a registry entry many people use to make it
10

Netscape and anything else Mozilla-based use 10 simultaneous as well

i do not want to manually select a port in case the one i select is being
used already.
