<span class="quote">&gt; In general a higher amount of max_connections allows more parallelism, and
&gt; thus faster downloads. Said that, the only reason to limit that number
&gt; (apart from not overflowing your router's NAT) is to be &quot;nice&quot; with the
&gt; servers and the other clients.</span >

I presume that major browsers use a lower number because having more connections open could slow them down, and they prefer to fully load a few resources and then fully load a few more rather than have many loading at the same time. It probably makes the browser feel &quot;faster.&quot;</pre>
