Using Build 3289

I appear to be opening more connections than I've set for each news server. Looking at the "Current Progress" column I'm seeing 15 or so blocks colouring up, when I've set the servers to only open a total of 8 connections. I realise this could be a graphics issue, but some news servers would block me if I attempted to open up too many connections.

I've made a screen grab showing the issue. Can I send it to you?

You don't need to.

There's a certain amount of "look ahead" in the download which improves performance. If you want to see the actual connections, look in the servers tab. It never goes higher than you have set. The same connections are used over and over again.

Cheers, thanks for the quick reply.

I'll now disappear for another year or so.

Haha, you don't have to. It's good that I could explain that to people.
