Yup, "MaxClientsPerHost" works pretty well as a 'general' rule, but still doesn't yield the desired effect because the client hostname/IP verification calls _after_ the initial connection has been accepted. In consequence, download managers are quickly catching free connections, thus filling the pool of allowed connections _before_ getting thrown out. Thus, limiting the number of connections per client indeed permits to restrict the number of FTP data connections but unfortunately doesn't result in a beneficial management of the allowed number of connections.
