Yup, "MaxClientsPerHost" works pretty well as a 'general' rule, but
still doesn't yield the desired effect because the client hostname/IP
verification calls _after_ the initial connection has been accepted. In
consequence, download managers are quickly catching free connections,
thus filling the pool of allowed connections _before_ getting thrown
out.
Thus, limiting the number of connections per client indeed permits to
restrict the number of FTP data connections but unfortunately doesn't
result in a beneficial management of the allowed number of connections.
Cheers,
Martin.
