This seems to only apply to Chrome, whereas Firefox will happily download everything as fast as possible.

I know this because I fixed a bug recently where chrome was taking so long to download images that other resources on the page were timing out. No problem in Firefox.

Last I checked all the browsers had limits [1] when it came to HTTP 1.X.

The limits in Firefox must be really high then, it was almost funny looking at the difference in behaviour between the two browsers in the situation I was testing.
