No. If everybody is downloading from more hosts, your sources will just become slower because they are also uploading to more hosts.

The limit of 6 hosts has been choosen carefully based on years of experience with different settings.

-_- there should atleast be an option on how many hosts we can upload and download to

If there was such an option, everybody would set it to the max value regardless of whether it is sensible and actually improves your downloads or not.
