They are the outbound limits per server you are connecting too. That is you
can have 2 connections to www.microsoft.com, 2 to www.dell.com, and 2 to as
many other servers you want. If youi start 3 then the third will wait till
the first connection is finished. This is to allow the maximun number of
people to connect to any server so one person doesn't download 500 files and
blocking every other user of that server. These are http limits. You don't
say what you are doing.
