Actually Serv-U will do it and I have used in on many occasion however what
I am trying to do is have it fail gracefully.

When someone clicks the link to download a file we use a URL of
ftp://ftp.somedomain.com/filename.zip so the browser is performing the FTP
transfer. With simultaneously FTP limits in place once the user hits their
predefined limit (2) and tries to simultaneously download the next file (3)
the browser just gives a file not found error or some M$ pretty error page.
What I want to do is detect that the connection limit has been reached and
redirect them to a page that tells them to wait for the files to finish
downloading. Then using a meta refresh let that page queue the aborted (3rd)
file request.
