NewDisplayName Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) 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, 2018 by nuhll Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 When a container consists of multiple layers which need updating, these are concurrently fetched to maximize the available connection bandwidth. Quote Link to comment
NewDisplayName Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment
