By the way ... here is the KB article about the WinInet connection limit:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183110/EN-US/

It comes with a work-arround (registry edit), which will allow you to have
more than 2 connections open to a Server at a time. I wouldn't be surprised
if the same fix worked for "URLMON.DLL".
