Higher maximal number of transfers....

I'd like to see more than the current 9 transfers available at the same time. Possibly 16?

Unfortunatelly simply raising the limit makes WinSCP quite instable. So it would require non trivial changes.

Thanks for the prompt reply Martin. I would definitely prefer stability over more connections.

Maybe a way to increase the number of connections will become possible in the future. If not...so be it.

I can force WinSCP to run 20+ simultaneous SFTP connections without issue by manually starting each file in the queue. The result is a very good bump in throughput and never any issues in stability.
Can you put in a registry key or something that allows us to change the maximum value from 9 to whatever we want it to be? Or a UI warning that pops up when you try to go over 9, but still allows it anyway?

@dlucre: Can you send me an email, so I can send you back a development version of WinSCP for testing? Please include link back to this topic in your email. Also note in this topic that you have sent the email. Thanks.

I know this thread is like 4 years old but would I be able to get a development version that allows me to do more than 9 as well?

@Araiye: Please give me few days to prepare such build.

You can hack the number with CheatEngine. I run 128 connections without issues, in order to get higher throughput. 9 is definitely way too low...

I have added this request to the tracker:
Bug 2117 – Increase maximal number of background transfers at the same time

@Araiye: I'm sending you an email with a development version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

Can I please have this development build sent to my registration email as well?

@throwaway6: Sent.

I would love to have a look at the development build, especially if I can boost the concurrent transfers over 9.

I'd love to have a copy of the Developer build as well. I love the program but don't tend to use it because of the download speeds. If that allows me to increase the connections above 9 that would be awesome!

@jeebo and @quadrajet: Sent to both of you.

Oh, I would love to have a copy of that version as well if possible.

Thanks

@Brago: Sent.

Would like to request the 10+ Transaction-version, too.
Currently aiming at a move, which involves transferring ~2 million files to another machine 😏 and at 9 files at once with at least ~1 sec for a connect.... well, that will take a bit 😉

PS: maybe add a new subsection in the options called "Experimental", which allows users to test/enable stuff, but at cost of 'crash'/'lower performance'/'not working'😜
