 #      This option has no effect if Privoxy has been compiled without

 #
+#      Note that a timeout of five seconds as used in the default
+#      configuration file significantly decreases the number of
+#      connections that will be reused.  The value is used because some
+#      browsers limit the number of connections they open to a single
+#      host and apply the same limit to proxies. This can result in a
+#      single website "grabbing" all the connections the browser allows,
+#      which means connections to other websites can't be opened until
+#      the connections currently in use time out.
+#
+#      Several users have reported this as a Privoxy bug, so the default
+#      value has been reduced. Consider increasing it to 300 seconds
+#      or even more if you think your browser can handle it. If your
+#      browser appears to be hanging it can't.
