Aria2: loosen the restriction on concurrent connections per server

Created on 25 Aug 2016  路  3Comments  路  Source: aria2/aria2

Currently the -x max connection per server is ranged from 1 to 16, I understand this is by design to prevent abuse but actually I have legal usage of more connections(which I'd rather not discuss in public) so I always download the source, edit the limit(and also min split size and split alignment) in OptionHandlerFactory.cc and compile, but it is a bit troublesome since I can't use your binaries and have to do this every time when new versions came out, and actually I maintain a mingw cross compile environment for the sole purpose of building this(I call it aria2.c1k.hack) for friends while personally I only use Linux.

Would you please consider loosen these restrictions? I mean, after all your code is open source and other tools like axel allow this already.

We have decided not to increase this value. There are several request for this, but we rejected them all.
We have Dockerfile for mingw build. You can edit it so that automade build process.

@tatsuhiro-t Hello, may I ask for the reason why you rejected such requests? Is there any technical problems?
