quick question for server gurus

i think this issue was discussed before on GFY but i can't find the thread.

here's the problem.

let's say you have a dedicated box which has tons of video galleries on it.

and you have guys with very high speed connections clicking on like 20 of the vids all for simultaneous dowload, then they go have breakfast.

and maybe you have 5 guys at the same time do this stuff.

this degrades the server performance.

what is the fix in apache to limit concurrent downloads from a single IP# to like maybe 4 or 5 files?

anyone know, or anyone know of a good fix for this scenario? this is getting more common as surfers get ultra high speed connections.
