Currently this defaults to 3. I have seen people online suggesting that they get better performance setting it to 6 (or higher).
As mirror admins in 2022, do you care? Do you have a preference for our default? Note that I'm 87% sure that GNOME Software does not do
parallel
downloads so this would primarily affect server/cloud use cases (the
later
of which should hit cloud-provider mirrors) and enthusiast usage.
As a mirror admin, I do not care.
I'm pretty sure that the metalinks also include max parallel connections per mirror information, as we set when we configured our mirrors. Raising
MirrorManager offers a way to specify max parallel connections, but that is not used in the metalink at all. The existing value in the metalink is hard-coded to 1. So that does also not really help. At this point there is no support from the MirrorManager side.
That should be fixed then, because the setting in MirrorManager that we set literally says it goes into the metalink to give clients the info on the maximum number of parallel connections that should be used with this mirror.
