Multi-threaded FTP Question

[dbandler at gmail.com]

I'm trying to use ftp in python in a multi-threaded way on a windows
box - python version 2.4.3.  Problem is that it appears that it's only
possible to have five instances/threads at one point in time.  Errors
look like:

   File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 107, in __init__
    self.connect(host)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 132, in connect
    self.welcome = self.getresp()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 208, in getresp
    resp = self.getmultiline()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 194, in getmultiline
    line = self.getline()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\ftplib.py", line 184, in getline
    if not line: raise EOFError
EOFError

Is it possible to have more than five simultaneous ftp connections?

Thanks.
