<p>another issue i have with <a href="http://ranchero.com/netnewswire/beta.php">netnewswire 2.0</a> is the downloads. it's one of those good and bad features. you can only have 2 downloads going at one time. the rest are 'pending', then load up as the current ones finish up. i'm sure this makes most sense for most situations. i just wish i could override that setting and say lemme download say 5 or 10 downloads at once. now let me say this, i understand the design challenge of having prefs that are user configurable and still having a clean intuitive UI. but maybe it could be a pref that i could set only via the command line, so as to keep it out of the prefs window.</p>
<p>brent, is this possible?</p>
The number of downloads you can have going at the same time is not currently configurable in NetNewsWire 2.0. That is a preference we plan to add in a future version.
