If you are doing HTTP connections, you could just make your server
return an http 1.0 header rather than 1.1, since 1.0 does NOT allow
persistent connections.  That should prevent the browser from trying to
use the same connection again and again.  You still have to force the
browser to try multiple connections at once of course.

There should also be a setting in the browser to control how many
simultanious connections it will make.
