I've noticed that the number of simultaneous connections (streams?) seems to be important to people, but I've never understood the reason. Does each one of your simultaneous connections add another increment of throttled bandwidth? Other than that, I can't see any advantage. In another post you mentioned plans for usage-based accounts. By that do you mean non-expiring blocks? ATM that's the only kind of account that I would consider with any NSP. I've read that even ISP's are considering usage-based accounts (to penalize you binaries junkies who download 24/7 from unthrottled NSP's ;-)
