Background Operations
Concurrent local operations
By increasing this value Magellan Explorer will start more file operations, such as Copy and move, simultaneously, rather then queuing them up.
Normally it is recommended that you leave this option at its default state. If your computer has a high performance storage system, such as multi-disk SCSI system, you can increase it better the overall performance.
Concurrent FTP sessions
By increasing this value Magellan Explorer will start more downloads/uploads simultaneously, rather then queuing them up.
If you are connected to the internet using a modem or ISDN connection it is recommended that you leave this option in its default state. On the other hand, if you are using internet through a fast LAN, DSL or cable connection you may want to increase the number to increase the total performance of your FTP sessions.
Note: Please be aware that these options will never increase the performance of individual operations, only on the sum of all operations currently ongoing when there are more than one. The individual operations may perform slower when more concurrency is allowed.
