| - | The box //Maximal number of transfer at the same time// defines maximal number of background connections that WinSCP can automatically opened at the same time and thus maximal number of parallel background transfers. If you schedule more transfers the others will wait in queue. You can always instruct WinSCP to process [[ui_queue#manage|particular transfer despite the limits]]. | + | The box //Maximal number of transfers at the same time// defines maximal number of background connections that WinSCP can automatically opened at the same time and thus maximal number of parallel background transfers.

| + | Normally, each file is transferred using specific connection. That means that multiple connections are used, when transferring multiple files only. With SFTP, you can even enable use of multiple connections when downloading a single large file by checking //Use multiple connections for single file above// and specifying a size threshold. You can use ''K'' unit for kilobytes, ''M'' for megabytes and ''G'' for gigabytes. Minimum is one kilobyte. //This is an experimental feature available in the latest version only. Use with caution.// &recent | ||
| You can check //No confirmations for background transfers// to avoid [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|overwrite and other confirmations]] for the background transfer. | You can check //No confirmations for background transfers// to avoid [[ui_pref_environment#confirmations|overwrite and other confirmations]] for the background transfer. | ||
