Im trying to download 3 games at once using free download manager and when i try to start the 2nd it says: limit of connections to this server is reached its not really a problem because im going out and leaving them to download(they're queued) but i thought as a premium member i could have 20 parallel downloads. just in case it matters the games im downloading are panzer general, bushido blade 2 and formula one 2000
Try using the other server. Because usually if you were a normal member and your already downloading something it will say "Download Limit Exceed" not "limit of connections to this server is reached"
Check your download manager settings, you can set maximum connections per website. So if your first download opened up five different connections, and your max was set to five, your next download will be stopped by your manager, not the website.
download manager settings were ok, ive downloaded lots of things before and this was first time i had the problem. When i came home everything was downloaded but i dont know whether it sorted itself out or did one at a time. ive tried with download accelerator plus and 2 downloads worked together so i assume there was a problem with free download manager somewhere. i will look if theres a later verion and try that if there is.
