Question

It just occurred to me... there are 2 types of multi-threading, and while I understand that implementing 1 of the types may be complicated, perhaps the other type is easier to implement?

The complicated type of multi-threading is when each individual file is uploaded with multiple threads...

The other type isn't really multi-threading, it's just multiple simultaneous transfers, i.e. if you've got 100 files in the queue then it could be transferring 5 of them at once (or however many depending on user setting). This isn't really multi-threading so doesn't help when transferring individual large files, but is very helpful when transferring large queues (eg. whole directories).

Hopefully it won't require a whole re-write of the software just to get multiple simultaneous transfers?
