From the DC++ help:

"certain conditions can result in the limits not being obeyed. Specifically, up to 3 files that are set to the 'highest' priority can be transferred while other downloads are going. File lists and small files (64 kibibytes or smaller) are queued with 'highest' as their priority. When either of the limits are hit, DC++ shows "All download slots taken" next to each source in the status column of the Connections tab."

So you can still see 3 files past your download limit if they are high priority.

So the Highest Setting Ignores the Limits

I changed them from Highest to High and it works.

Is it possible to leave them on Highest and still get 1 downloading?

No. What's the purpose of having a highest priority then? Plus you always want to have filelists and very small files to get downloaded quicker. Sounds like you just need to lower the priority you assign files.

Can you help with this problem?
