+++void set_max_half_open_connections(int limit); ++
Sets the maximum number of half-open connections libtorrent will have when +connecting to peers. A half-open connection is one where connect() has been +called, but the connection still hasn't been established (nor filed). Windows +XP Service Pack 2 sets a defaul, system wide, limit of the number of half-open +connections to 10. So, this limit can be used to work nicer together with +other network applications on that system. The default is to have no limit, +and passing -1 as the limit, means to have no limit. When limiting the number +of simultaneous connection attempts, peers will be put in a queue waiting for +their turn to get connected.
