This is the distribution page for the Apache module mod_limitipconn.c, which
allows web server administrators to limit the number of simultaneous downloads
permitted from a single IP address.

Why did I write this module? Well, I run an mp3 server which since its
inception was being constantly hosed by people who were trying to download
dozens of files at once. For months I scoured the Internet looking for a code
snippet that would solve this problem. The closest thing I found was this patch
against an old version of Apache, and it didn't run properly on my Linux box
(that was back then; nowadays, the patch doesn't even apply cleanly to the
 Apache source tree).

Finally I gave up and decided to write something to do the job myself, and
here's the result.

Maintainer's fix variant for dangling browser connections counting

Use non-default WITH_CONNECTION_COUNT_FIX option which fix following
bug using Scott's Barta contributed version from official site:

In standard version _all_ connections with the same IP counted through
scoreboard, despite file type. So, if you set limit 3 to, say, video/avi
type and open 3 connections to unlimited .html or .jpeg, next 1 connection
to video/avi will be rejected (since all, even unlimited connections are
counted through scoreboard)
