Parallel transfer means that curl runs up to N concurrent transfers 24simultaneously and if there are more than N transfers to handle, it starts new 25ones when earlier transfers finish. 26 27With parallel transfers, the progress meter output is different than when 28doing serial transfers, as it then displays the transfer status for multiple 29transfers in a single line. 30 31The maximum amount of concurrent transfers is set with --parallel-max and it 32defaults to 50. 33
