Agreed. From TFM; "The MaxClients directive sets the limit on the number of simultaneous requests that will be served" and i'd say when they say "requests", they're talking about TCP sessions. So in the old days of HTTP/1.0 you'd be right, and if you'd turned off pipelining (KeepAlives) you'd be right. The default for MaxKeepAliveRequests is 100, so no problems downloading the 30+ objects within a single session, assuming you have KeepAlive on.
