It is quite common for ftp servers to limit the number of connections
and also to limit the number of connections from the same client in
a short period of time.   At work there is a firewall with a limited
number of external IP addresses, so it is quite possible for several
users to end up connecting via the same IP.

There are ways to combine many pdf's into one using pdflatex or
context MkII, but I have only done this when producing hard copy, so
I'm not sure how hyperlinks between PDF's would work.
