When using an external special remote with -Jn, multiple transfers do not happen concurrently to the remote. A single process is started for the external special remote, and there's locking to only let one request be made of it at a time. This should not be hard to make to use a pool of Externals, starting up a new one if the pool is empty or all in use. --[[Joey]] [[users/yoh]] may want this for datalad? > [[done]] --[[Joey]]
