I have checked and the settings remain unchanged with Unlimited members being allowed a maximum of 25. That said please remember that at busy times the total number of connections by the server in total is limited so you may not be allowed the total of 25. You will however have preference over non Unlimited members.

I hope this helps and welcome to the site.

Let me desagree with you.
This is not server (bandwith) limitations. I only have 6 slots available, it is very easy to check that.
I made a test a couple of hours ago and I have 6 slots. I started 7 downloads at the same time, the last one was "holded". Then I tried hitting reply to this post, and browser freezed "waiting socket connection". I closed one of the six, instantanly the 7th started, close another one and this box appeared and i'm writing.

My english is not good but i know what i'm saying, I work in a ISP, I know about this stuff.

Please, let me know if I can help you doing other tests. I'm just saying I would like to received what I've paid.

Regards.

Your post got me thinking and so I decided to check myself. I also was only allowed to download 6 slots at a time. I checked the settings on my server and it has a maximum limit of 25 from any given IP address (the 1DL and 5DL limits are soft limites from within the website) turns out that most browsers and indeed your OS is most likely limiting your concurrent connections and worse than this is is a hard set rule.

After further investigation it would appear that the limit is per profile and so if you create more than one profile (in Chrome for example) you can cheat this problem. That all said, I am still more closely checking ALL settings on the new server and indeed within the website code to make sure that I have not created this issue. Our server has just received an OS update so this might also have reset some of the hard settings.

I will post again once I know more.
