A user controlled settings option to let users choose how many items we can
load in at once.
default being 3
next up being 6
max would be 10

yea the obejcts and textures that download at once.
3 is just to slow for me lol
I have downloaded more then that from websites with no problem
I have downloaded close to 15 things from diff internet sites at once with
no problem.
I do agree this would cause lagg for some people with slow modems, thats why
I said make it a user selectable option.

reasion i brough this up is there are some larg texture and sound files
running in AW , when them big files start loading in you got to wait for
them before anything more will come in.
This way if a larg file starts to load, the smaller ones can still load in
during it.

I'm quite sure that although the download window only shows 3 downloads, the browser is actually downloading more than that...
We'd have to ask Roland (or maybe anyone knows?) but that only 3 are shown simply doesn't mean anything (other than bad design :P)

I'm pretty sure in 3.2 it downloads multiple files.. but I think 3.1 and
below only did 3 at a time. Don't take my word for that though.

You should refine this idea, if they did what you wish
this would be the end of most free/cheap object paths.

It would only make sense if AW was able to spread the
load to several servers and never load more than three
from the same OP server.
