it seems that Mozilla uses multiple connections to news servers to speed up
donwloading, but there seems to be no cap on how many connections are used.

being able to limit number of connections used by Mozilla when reading news
could be a useful addition

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start reading multiple groups on a newsserver
2. If your news provider limits the number of connections, than you may see
"connection limit exceed" message coming back from the news server
3.

Actual Results:  
got "connection limit exceed" message

Expected Results:  
being able to limit number of connections used by Mozilla when reading news
