All it does is send more info to the server. It's not smart, because the server may lock up cause it thinks its getting DOS'd |

Sorry for the wrong place Yes, but bumping it up by a few wont hurt the server badly, and it is the same amount of data, its all in the PC, its just getting between the Modem and the Browser Quicker. |

Aren't the other browsers automatically set up to something like this? I know internet explorer loads more than one image at a time. |

Firefox is set up to load multiple images at once too, though the default is set to 4. I have it set to 50, and it is much faster. And i haven't had any problems. |

Using network.http.pipelining, in most cases, is a good idea. Pipelining speeds up transfers by requesting several objects at once without waiting for a response first. This is good, however, it may cause problems with older web servers which do not support pipelining correctly. network.http.proxy.pipelining is just to enable pipelining over a proxy. There is a lot of misconceptions when it comes to network.http.pipelining.maxrequests. It is the maximum number of consecutive requests in one pipeline. Also, if you set this value to anything over 8 it will use 8. So, it wouldn't make any difference if it were set at 8 or 30. Firefox limits it to 8. That means that this quote is wrong:
If it is set to 30 it would actually only make 8. You can even see for yourself here. http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/ne...rc/nsHttp.h#111 This is my advice to everybody: Learn what a "tweak" does before even considering applying it. Most "tweaks" will not be helpful and can be harmful. When it comes to "tweaking" Windows, firefox, or anything else. It is all the same. |

This supposably messes up Firefox when you visit some sites, forcing you to reinstall it. Why wouldn't it be set to that already if it makes it so fast? I know someone who set their Firefox settings to that and they had to reinstall Firefox after visiting a site. |

Yes, some can cause problems. That being the reason they are not enabled by default. |
