[Unison-hackers] Thread settings not respected for directory transfers?

[Alan Schmitt]

Hi,

I have a fairly bad internet connection at home, which disconnects  
when there are too many connections at the same time. When Unison  
default settings, this would happen all the time, so I set  
"maxthreads" to 1 and it works great, most of the time.

However I've recently noticed that if I create a big directory and  
upload it through unison, I often get disconnections. Looking at  
network transfers, in a normal transfer I see oscillations between  
maximum upload speed and no transfer, even for big files. I guess this  
is due to some acknowledgments in the protocol. However when a  
directory is transfered, I see a sustained upload at maximum speed,  
which I suspect is because several connections are used, which may be  
why I often see disconnections during directory transfers. Also I see  
that there are several partially transferred files in the unison  
temporary directory when it interrupted.

So my question is: is the maxthreads setting respected when  
transmitted directory?

Thanks,

Alan
