Limit number of connections?

I was running into an error when transfering alot of files between my host and my computer (backing up and reloading cms' etc) this is all that was viewable in the log:

[R] 227 Entering Passive Mode (xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx)
[R] Opening data connection IP: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx PORT: xxxx
[R] Data Socket Error: Connection timed out
[R] Transfer Failed!
[R] Connection lost: (my site name)

I contacted my host and after numerous replies back and forth we determined that my client was opening too many connections and their router was banning my for short periods of time (30 mins) their logs show this:

Wed Nov 14 06:01:08 2007 lfd: (CT) IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx found to have 207 connections - *Blocked in csf* for 1800 secs

they said I need to change my setting and limit my number of connections to 50. however after searching google, and not turning up anything realavant. scouring the fourms, I still have not recieved the answer to my problem.

I'm hoping someone here can help?

Thanks,
