Currently, I don't think dillo places any kind of regulation on the number of connections it tries to make with an http server, and this causes bad things to happen with some -- ie. if it tries to open a page with hundreds of thumbnails, it can crash some http servers. Is there a way to limit the number of connections made?

I really wish there were. Dillo should be a good citizen. (Well, there's always the 'solution' of turning off automatic image loading :)

Currently Dillo doesn't have a way to limit the number of connections. I assume that apache has a way on the server side and that more or less has made of it a smaller problem. What http server are you using? This will probably get into the feature request queue for dillo-2.2. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Freenet's fproxy :P. Currently dillo DoS'es the server if it tries opening a page with hundreds of images. (It causes the server to exceed the thread limit, which stalls everything :|). I hope they'll do something on their end as well :).
