May 12, 20188 yr Hi guys, i would find it usefull if downloading docker upgrades would be "multi threaded"?. Currently it seems like it uses only one connection per file. For me this is a "problem" because i have multiple WANs and it could get nice split across them, for more speed. (it only uses one WAN currently) I guess dockers/plugins/unraid updates wont get smaller, so this would probably speed up upgrade process which is a good thing. Even if you only have 1 WAN using 2 or 3 connections could speed things up. Multiple WAN is good working with Steam, Origin, Windows Updates, i guess, they use more connections. I dont know how much of a change it needs to unraid, but if its a small change, do it! Edited May 12, 20188 yr by nuhll
May 14, 20188 yr Docker updates seem to download three files simultaneously. Since you have a complex WAN configuration, isn't it the responsibility of your router to load balance these?
May 14, 20188 yr When a container consists of multiple layers which need updating, these are concurrently fetched to maximize the available connection bandwidth.
July 26, 20187 yr Author Yes, thats true. But on my exp, its many small files and some big files... so this isnt useful. Is it hard to implement to use 2-3 connections for big files?
