Looks good to me, thanks for this long-due fix.

I don't know how well the underlying feature works (e.g. will the jobs wait for a connection or fail immediately, and will getConnectedSlave return 0 when the limit is reached) -- but this patch looks ok, it's just "more (configurability) of the same (feature)".

Unlike the patch proposed in bug# 64647, the approach taken in this patch neither requires any new API additions to KIO::Scheduler nor does it limit configurablity per protocol.

For example, to limit the number of ftp connections to "ftp://ftp.foo.bar" to 1, one would only have to add the following to $KDEHOME/share/config/kio_ftprc:

That is move it out of the host ("[ftp.foo.bar]") section. And to make it apply to every protocol, simply move the property to the generic ioslave configuration file, $KDEHOME/share/config/kioslaverc.
