It maybe very nice, but its rather impolite to the person who's webserver your visiting, not to mention anyone else trying to visit the site. By default Apache is set to cutoff after 100 requests for a page, with you alone making 30 at once your not only causing their webserver to take one heck of a hit you could also be blocking other visitors.
The big sites should be able to handle this without a problem, so long as everyone doesnt start doing it, but its still very, very impolite.
Uh, I think you are missing something. The total downloaded is the same,
it's just done with more in parallel. Regarding the Apache... 100
requests thing, that's *per page* - Firefix will still only make *one*
connection for each resource - it just fetches more than one resource at
a time. I don't see how this is any more or less polite, in any way
whatsoever, than doing them serially one at a time.
