    Oh yeah... you may want to bump the default to 3 or 4 on your FTP config.

    I was trying to download the bbsfiles.com archive from your server, and
    even when I dropped my max connections to 1 at a time, there were still
    issues when doing PASV downloads against a queue of files to download.

    I'm guessing that the transfer showed as done on FileZilla, then
    attempted to start a new connection/transfer etc before your system
    marked the old connection as done.

    Wasn't too bad, just requeue a few times on the failures.

    How many people do you suppose are doing that?

    Let's say just in North America. One, or two?

    Well, I've been using the new MS terminal for a while now (in Windows),
    and Tabby on Mac and Linux. I also use the VS Code terminal a lot.

    I've also worked on using the xterm.js library directly.

    And that doesn't even scratch the number of terminal emulators/apps
    built in the past 2-3 years alone.

    That said, haven't had too many issues with various telnet/rlogin/ssh connections, but sometimes I do see odd behavior in more than a handful
    of scenarios.

    Are you saying you're running telnet from the Microsoft Windows Terminal app to connect to BBSes?

    Yes. Both via windows (cmd/powershell) and via WSL/Ubuntu
