[Pan-users] Increasing connections to server decreases overall speed

[Rick Barry]

Hi,

I'm running Pan 0.132 on Ubuntu 8.04.1.

I modified the number of connections in the servers.xml file from 4 to 10 which 
is how many my news provider allows on my account.

I notice though, that as connections start up, the speed drops from about 400 
kB/s to just under 330 kB/s as it approaches 10 connections. Is this a function 
of my ISP pipe (DSL) being too small, or am I just seeing less speed but 
greater throughput due to the larger number of connections?

Thanks for any insights.

Rick
