I have links generated on web pages to files for download,
but the anonymous account seems limited to only 2 at a
time. How can I increase that? Is there a difference
once I implement logging in with an account?

Also, Any comments on HTTP downloads vs. FTP?

Also again, I have a 3rd party FTP server running. Are
there any advantages to running Microsoft FTP vs a third
party other than integrated security. (Excluding
performance related things?)

This is not an IIS issue. HTTP specification (RFC 2616 for HTTP/1.1) says
that each client should not open more than 2 connections to each host.

Jerry,

Thanks for your response... I'll tackle the second question:

"Are there any advantages to running Microsoft FTP?"

It would depend on the 3rd party application... I'd reverse the question
and say, what's so good about the 3rd party application, that you'd rather
spend money to purchase it when you've already got an FTP server. It had
better provide something more.

I think what I mean is this: I don't know anything about the 3rd party app
- so I can't compare.

Unless there was some major functionality issue, I'd use our services :)

Thank you,
