I've also found that the following preferences can solve many problems with servers, and/or proxies that don't support keep-alive connections.
Note: KM' behavior is also weird (from what I saw with some tests I've done) with "keep-alive" set to true. It seems to limit itself to a small amount of simultaneous connections (around 4, and sometimes only a maximum of 2 per server) whatever the values of "max-connections". I don't know if this is a Gecko bug, an intended feature, or a behavior limited to this particular version of Gecko (as of 0.8.2).
user_pref("network.http.keep-alive", false);
user_pref("network.http.proxy.keep-alive", false);
Use them with the preferences above or at least with:
user_pref("network.http.max-connections", 40); /* or more */
user_pref("network.http.max-connections-per-server", 20); /* or more */
