Isn't this precisely what limiting simultaneous connections does already? They 
are two different things, and I think they should be used in conjunction.

Byte-by-byte transfers are inefficient, I agree. Would it not be better, then 
to do it packet-by-packet instead? It reduces the granularity, so it should 
still work OK, even it is marginaly more bursty.
