            Bug ID: 480172
           Summary: Feature Request: multithreaded file (folder) transfer
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: wieserfalke at gmail.com

  Target Milestone: ---

It would be nice if the file (folder) transfer could be multithreaded.
This would bring a speed improvement in cases where one transfers a folder that
has a huge number of small files but in total not that huge (storage space
wise).
An example is when one transfers a 20GB file, it is much faster than a folder
that allocates 20GB but has 30.000 files.

It is understandable that just multithreading everything does not solve
everything, but I think that in such situations a multithreaded solution could
improve speed and performance.

When searching for multithreading, I found 252019
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252019) and 252025
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252025), but they both do not talk about
this use case.
