This pull request implements global limit for concurrent FTP transfers. For now, limits are hardcoded, but could become user configurable in the future. This also doesn't impose limit on control connections itself - it's possible to issue non RETR/STOR commands even if the limit has been reached.
MAX_TRANSFERS = 2
seems to be a good tradeoff between large amount of small files speed and small amount of large files, as there isn't an infinite HDD throughput anyways - large transfers have to compete for resources on system calls.Transfers that are over the
MAX_TRANSFERS
stay in a queue until either:(Part of #760 FTP improvements.)
