Max connections/IP - The maximum number of active connections from a single client IP address.

 

Max connections/user - The maximum number of active connections from a single user.

 

Max downloads/session - The maximum number of downloads per client session.

 

Max uploads/session - The maximum number of uploads allowed per client session.

 

Max file download size (MB) - The maximum file download size in MB.

 

Max file upload size (MB) - The maximum file upload size in MB.

 

Max uploads (MB) - Defines an upload quota for the domain that is reset every N days.  If upload quota is exceeded no further uploads are allowed until upload quota is reset.

 

Max downloads (MB) - Defines a download quota for the domain that is reset every N days.  If download quota is exceeded no further downloads are allowed until download quota is reset.
