Without knowing your ISP speeds and stuff, it is hard to say, but try 10 connections.

The best advice I can offer is to try it first with 3 connections, if it reaches the full speed that your internet connection can do then leave it at 3. If you are not getting your full speed then add 1 connection each time until you are, then leave it. It is best to use the minimum amount of connections needed to max out your internet connection, setting any more would be unnecessary!

The free version of Alt.Binz v.0.25 has non-working search engines.

Your supposed to put lowest?
Ohh
Astraweb said max 20 so I was like cool might as well.
I guess it will download more posts at once, but at a slower speed.
