To manually set how many connections to the news server Agent will use, go to the server’s settings in Tools \ Servers And Accounts. From there, you can adjust the number of maximum allowed connections, how many are reserved for priority tasks and if Agent will automatically adjust. The default is 10, 1 and enabled, respectively. However, some news services use a non-standard error message that Agent does not recognize for a “too many connections” condition. In this case, or if you want to throttle the bandwidth Agent will use, you can reduce the number of maximum connections. The auto adjust setting will in no case cause Agent to exceed the set maximum, so it is recommended that you always leave that enabled.
