It would be a huge boon to have Moz open multiple connections to the server. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

> It would be a huge boon to have Moz open multiple connections to the server. Why? Esp. if you're bandwidth-limited (as you probably are with servers on the Internet, which you said you use), it shouldn't make much of a difference, does it? There is explicit code to transfer in parallel, see <http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/sroaming/resources/content/transfer/transfer.js#61> (Comment at the top) <http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/sroaming/src/Stream.cpp#218> (Comment and |ioParamBlock->SetInt(1, 2);| in Stream::DownUpLoad()) I just didn't think that there is a good and frequent reason to do that, so I didn't implement a way to set this setting (in the Mozilla registry), but hardcoded it. If you wanted to implement this, you just need to change Stream.cpp and add a registry value like the existing |SavePassword|. I don't see enough use for it to have UI, though, so I don't know how you'd change the Mozilla registry as a user. If you want to hack it in your copy of Mozilla, open transfer.js in sroaming.jar and change this.serial = serial; (currently like 99) to this.serial = false; Of course, any warranty is void, if you remove the seal like this ;-).

> ioParamBlock->SetInt(1, 2); Actually, it seems there is a bug somewhere. 2 (which I use here) is defined as parallel, not serial, but it seems we do transfer serially, not in parallel. (Yeah, magic numbers :-(. Because of nsIDialogParamBlock.)

This bug is filed in a bugzilla component related to pre-Firefox code which no longer exists. I believe it is no longer relevant and I am therefore closing it INCOMPLETE. If you believe that this bug is still valid and needs to be fixed, please reopen it and move it to the Toolkit:Startup and Profile System product/component.
